>From what I gather reading between the lines of the exchanges on this topic on Farber's IP list, the most inflammatory language re the political justification for traceback was lifted from an unnamed consultants' 'private' (ironic claim, given the work effort : ) email message, and is not included in an official ITU doc.<BR>
<BR>
So I'd caution the caucus to wait a bit until the dust settles on what exactly is being said by whom here before issuing a statement, but secondly this does point to reasons why ITU specs may effect Internet governance in significant ways, as some of us have been saying all along.<BR>
<BR>
Though to be realistic maybe half the standard specs developed don't get implemented nor have the reach/impact hoped for/feared, so this could all come to nothing. But it is a step along the way toward a more secure, though possibly less private net. Which can be good, and bad.<BR>
