To address this need, a lawyer is needed. While _a_ lawyer is certainly needed, I see no reason why thus shouldn't be the IETF counsel, assuming he is available for the extra work, of course. Regards Marshall As a way forward, I suggest that IASA pay a lawyer to come up with an initial draft, and then this draft be brought to the community for review and comment (and probably revision). I think a new mail list should be used for the discussion. Once the new mail list reaches rough consensus on the antitrust policy document, I suggest using the usual process for adopting the policy as an IETF BCP. > > What do others think?
