This is your version of staying away from social policy?
If it is, I suspect that what is first needed are lessons in the nature of
social and political policy.
I suspect you -- and most of the rest of us -- can't give a definitive answer to
these questions for any other venue the IETF has ever met in. As a small
example, I doubt many of us have a meaningful clue about the detailed impact of
the US's Patriot Act as it changed basic freedoms's for citizens, nevermind
non-citizens.
Really, Cullen, it's difficult to overemphasize just how basic a mistake it is
for us to pursue your questions.
