Hi Mike, For the record, I'm not exactly sure which hat I'm wearing at the moment, but this message does contain a reference to an Internet Society policy.

I continue to participate as an individual sometimes, in which case I make the above disclaimer. (See below for why.) 2. I don't participate as an individual. Are you advocating (2)? I can see an argument for it, but it's not entirely in keeping with the IETF traditions. (Of course, those traditions are not timeless, and there might be good reasons to change them.) > 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. It was one of the "new rules" we adopted for Internet Society staff. I announced them in March: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf/Ugu6O_5tCnNzTUmVzIuhNFKPzbE. I'm not surprised that Lynn or Kathy didn't make such statements, since they weren't operating under those rules. Best regards, A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
