Re: ASCII diff of ISOC-proposed changes to BCP

According to my local dictionary, "bestween" isn't even a word. The MS-Word copy that Lynn circulated uses the word "between" here, so this is a typo in the ASCII diff.


I am doubtful that "As between, the IETF, IASA and ISOC, the IETF, through IASA, shall have..." is not standard grammar, legal or otherwise. Could we ask the lawyer if something was lost in translation somwhere? Or, perhaps there is a more conventional way to say this that would also meet with legal approval?

 Huh?!

I can't parse that.

Lynn said that the ISOC lawyer said that this is standard legal grammar for "these are the parties whose relationship the next part of the sentence describes".


I agree that it's not normal English.....
