[governance] Towards an IGC Statement on RFC 6852 "Affirmation of the Modern Paradigm for Standards"

[michael gurstein]

I want to be clear... 

 

Do I take it that you (and others who want to sign on to RFC 6852) agree
with a statement of Internet standard setting "core values and principles"
which 

.         does not make provision for "inclusion"; 

.         appears to take as its sole measure of assessment "market
success"; 

.         does not include as a core element, the Internet's role in
supporting the "public interest"; and

.         makes provision for "competition" on and through the Internet but
not for example, for "collaboration"?

wow!

 

so anyone who does not agree that the document should be disavowed, but who
rather thinks we should work with them to expand their viewpoint to include
civil society is not a right thinking individual.  yes as s civil society
member who is a member of ISOC and who participates in IETF (though never
having gotten to close to the IAB, though some friends serve and have
served) I was disappointed in its purely  business view.  but in general I
think the sentiment about technopolicy and its independence from government
oversight was essentially correct.

 

Your absolute condemnations of all who do not agree with you seems akin to
name calling.

 

As i praised RFC6852 for what it tried to do, though commented on a few
flaws, i proudly count myself among those who you beleive are not right
thinking individuals.
