OK, this is getting silly. Have you ever been to an IETF meeting? You should understand the IETF culture before presuming to advise governments. The IETF is not a puppet of any government, and even if it were, that has nothing to do with RFC3683. The Last Call was reissued precisely to support the rights of the "accused" (your word). Because it was issued on the wrong list, some people might not have seen it. It was given *more* exposure time, not less, in order to be *more* fair, not less. Your implications that the "rulers" and their lackeys are gaming the system to take away rights is completely absurd. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
