Frankly, if you think that my comments on the IETF amounted to denigrating
the organisation (DTO), we have a serious communication problem (SCP). As a
matter of fact, I conceded for the sake of discussion (SOD) that the IETF
is free from capture by large industry players (LIP); and that the
decision-making model (DMM) used by the IETF is producing good results
within the specific remit of the organisation (GRWTSROTO).

I did, however, question in a very socratic sense (VSS), being myself at
the ignorant side of the relationship, whether and how the IETF model could
be applied to public policy making (PPM); as well as which kind of
objective metrics one could use to analyse all of the above (AOTA), rather
than relying on the say-so of anyone.

For the time being, I concluded there is hope, since some civil servants
and some IETF participants do seem to have something in common, namely the
(forced?) passion for acronyms - I am currently writing an NtF for a pre-JF
with the CAB in which the LTT for the SC of next week will be discussed. I
kid you not, these are all real acronyms in an eurocrat daily life and I
welcome you to try and guess what they mean. :)

Ciao,
