Lloyd,
There is nothing on the IETF (or ISOC) web site suggesting that ISOC membership
is required, so what is your problem?
Since the ISOC funds the RFC Editor and provides a budget at the
disposal of the IETF Chair, not to mention providing vital
legal insurance, a pointer (which is actually taken from
RFC 2028) hardly seems inappropriate as a minimal acknowledgement.
Truth in advertising: this addition to the web site was made at my request,
of course with the agreement of the IETF Chair.
