> From: Andrew Newton <andy@xxxxxx> > Considering the IETF encourages people to communicate with it via > mailing lists Actually, I thought the point of the mailing lists was for the members of the IETF community to be able communicate with each other (notice how those two words have a similar root). (And since the IETF is an entirely open organization, and anyone can become a member of the community anytime they want, with no charge or any other membership barrier - other than access to email, which is not exactly a high step - it should be obvious that my prior statement is in no way a statement that the IETF community wants to keep outsiders 'out'.)
