[governance] COMMENTS SOUGHT: draft letter to ISOC on selection of T&A nominees for CSTD WG on EC

[Lee W McKnight]

My 2 cents:

1) I was also surprised Michael was told he was not part of the 'academic community.'

2) Speaking now as a founding member of ISOC..ok yeah I haven't paid my dues every year so sue me...I think the letter is a) misdirected; b) too long.

1 more cent: This is a CSTD issue; their mistake in not giving the folks defining TAC eligibility clear guidance. It seems they mistook TAC as an acronym for The Aged same old insiders boys Club. Oh well, live and learn.

To summarize then, i too agree the letter to ISOC is..beside the point.

I would support a short, sweet note asking CSTD for a bit more clarity before next year.

best,

Lee

PS: Michael, no doubt there will be another 100 ways for you to contribute, if not this particular way. I would say - count your blessings : )

I hadn't really thought about this before, but do outsiders assume that
the "academic" part of that stakeholder group are the people responsible
for building out the Internet to Universities?

eg JANET in the UK and TERENA in the Netherlands which talks about
"fostering the development of Internet technology, infrastructure and
services to be used by the research and education community."

In other words the equivalent of the private sector ISP rather than
users of the connectivity who also happen to be more interested in law
than particle physics?
