As usual, I'm employed by ISOC but not speaking for it.
It's pretty hard to not take the above with a grain of salt. You're not just
an ISOC employee, but the president and CEO and as such have a lot of sway
over the funding ISOC provides to the IETF. I can't imagine the I* and
community not giving your statements more weight than they might another
generic IETF participant just because you say you're speaking for yourself.
It feels somewhat passive/aggressive too but that may just be me.
I can't remember Lynn or Cathy making a "not speaking for" statement in the
time they were in your job, but this is the third from you in last day or
so. I wondering if it's really appropriate for you to do so given the
relationships between the two organizations and your position?
I'd like to ask you for clarification on the above, do you mean to say
that the self-declaration is unnecessary, or that Andrew should refrain
from participating in a discussion three times a day?
Kind regards,
Job
I mean that it's impossible for Andrew to separate himself from
President/CEO of ISOC and as such he probably shouldn't be posting
emails which wouldn't be appropriate if they came from the President/CEO.
Later, Mike
