Well, yes and no.
Your lengthy treatise does not appear to contain a specific proposal.
So while the tutorial information is all well and good, how is it
relevant to the current situation?
I believe the IETF has never done such a thing. I'm pretty sure it
shouldn't.
Well - arguably, the IETF (or members thereof) were pretty vocal when
the TCP/IP vs. ISO wars were going on.
It was? What specifics are you referring to? I don't recall the IETF
doing anything but facilitating work on both technologies, both with
ISODE and for network management, and later when considering choices
in IPv6.
All I can speak for is observing some rather load and vociferous
commentary, and agitation, from my BBN colleagues, many of whom were
active in IETF, during the period where GSA and DoD were trying to foist
OSI down everyone's throats. The technical and policy papers were
flying fast and furious - though I can't say that any were official IETF
documents or positions.
