Hi -- I fully know that IETF folk do not want to clutter up the list with political stuff, but... I think shedding just a little more light on this one event should be OK. --- Stef, Nice research. I think it is also important for the ISOC and the IETF to take stock of who it is who are "members" of its ranks. Many people are not aware that, in the past IETF members, sent death threats to people and their families. Apparently, during the ICANN TLD Application process, people and companies, became the subject of "holy jihads". Apparently the FBI was called in and reports are that much of the material was "absorbed". It seems to me that the ISOC and the IETF can no longer be allowed to harbor people who quietly (and not so quietly) work their agendas against U.S. citizens and netizens of the world. Recent comments like "slapped down" show that the IETF, like many large organizations, can provide the platform upon which violence is breeded. In my opinion, that is no different from the other platforms that the U.S. is seeking to destroy. Organizations that harbor terrorists are as guilty as the terrorists themselves. I think it is time for the U.S. Government to get to the bottom of just who is involved in the so-called "Internet Society" and the organization called the IETF. Jim Fleming
