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.
