For your information the IUSG (interested in the Intelligent Use of the whole digital ecosystem) has just released the following statement which reflect a friendly but non-IETF evaluation of the "Modern Global Standards Paradigm" document proposed by the IETF and IAB Chairs to the endorsement of other SDOs and proposes a way to best build on it. Portzamparc This matter is a matter of trust in the IETF (as well as in the whole US organized I* structural set: ICANN, IANA, GAC) and how to restore/maintain confidence. As IUsers (Members of the IUse community interested in an intelligent use of the whole digital ecosystem), FLOSS developers, end-users, governments, and operators, we are accustomed to trusting the ITU in its plug to plug basic interconnection services area. We are not accustomed yet to trusting the “I*” structural set in its end to end value-added interoperations service area. This is for the very reasons that the IAB started to pertinently document but with no effective result in RFC 3869. This is because the IETF did not want to participate in the WSIS consensus. This is because the IETF considered us in the way that they think the ITU considers them. This is due to our patient and friendly (sometimes tough) experience of the ICANN, ISOC, IETF, IANA, and GAC attitude and culture. We want this to be corrected, the IETF to relax, and everyone to obtain clearer documentation of the UDP/TCP/SCTP strata, to ensure that the Internet technology and its R&D are not under direct or indirect commercial influence and its governance is not solely conducted by the USG. This is also the case because some of us and commercial interests as well are engaged in exploring, testing, and documenting, in coordination with the IETF, the fringe to fringe extended services “Internet+” area, and its non-ITU/IETF documented layers. We need credibility, stability, and homogeneity and simple interfaces in the Internet area as all of us currently have from the ITU. Please understand that in this Internet+ endeavor we do not want to obey the ITU and IETF more than you want to obey the ITU and our emerging IUTF. However, we need non blocking clarity, transparency, and predictability. Our suggestion is, instead of unilaterally promoting a standardization BCP in pure American IETF language along a non IETF documented process, to propose an RFC 3869bis open working group with people from all the concerned SDOs, the ITU to begin with, in order to reflect a standardization world ethitechnical (ethic of technical standardization) consensus on the way, not to best sign clients or deliver to subscribers, but to intelligently serve us, the users. To contribute to this effort, we have engaged ourselves in a reflection on the matter at http://iutf.org/wiki/Modern_Global_Standards_Paradigm. We will see how it develops. Should a WG/RFC3869Bis be created, IUSG would certainly participate. (http://iusg.org/wiki/20120813_-_Statement_proposing_an_open_IETF/WG/RFC3869bis):
