a) It would seem sensible to leave the selection of the specific lawyer
to the IASA / IAOC.
b) I would hope that they will select a lawyer with specific exposure to
anti-trust issues. That may well turn out to be the existing IETF counsel.
Yours,

The IETF legal counsel and insurance agent suggest that the IETF ought to have an antitrust policy. 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.

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? I am open to suggestions for an alternative approach.
