No, it's not.

It refers only to business uses of the Internet, as if the Internet
were not used for many other things. It was recorded as a comment by
some IETF members
<http://trac.tools.ietf.org/group/iab/trac/ticket/193> but was
ignored.

It calls for access to the standard documents but it is
hypocritical since one of the signers, IEEE, does not allow it
<http://trac.tools.ietf.org/group/iab/trac/ticket/213> (ITU, the main
target of this RFC, does distribute its standards online for a few
years.)

It refers to open and transparent processes but the IETF members
discovered this document when it was already signed, and impossible to
modify.
