The Internet is now commercial. And the IETF the first strategic 
opponent of the Civil Society.

Great care should now be paid to the Patinum, Gold and Silver Member 
ISOC's affiliates IAB/IETF's positions as now revamped by this 
declaration. Previous RFCs on the matter (RFC 3869 and RFC 3935) said 
that network technology neutrality depended on Governments' funding 
of the Internet R&D and that the Internet technology was not to be 
the technology that's possible but the one that resonated with 
concepts and core values not mentionned any more and even probably opposed.

This document refers to the *market*, *not* to the users *nor* to the people.
8/26 the Internet 9/11.

The IETF Chair indicates that they want to publish this document as 
an RFC. I personnally intend to appeal this publication and/or join 
any collective appeal that could be formed. My personnal position is 
to defend the IETF "edge-user empowerment" core value documented in 
RFC 3935, Statement of Mission for the IETF.
