[ga] Public Policy Considerations for Internet Design Decisions

[Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzmeyer@nic.fr>]

A very interesting Internet-draft (for those not versed in IETF
procedures, every RFC started as an Internet-draft but not every
Internet-draft becomes a RFC) which talks about many issues mentioned
here.

As Lawrence Lessig is fond of saying, "the Code is the Law".

This document suggests public policy questions that the IETF should 
consider and possibly address when developing new standards and 
protocols, and modifying or enhancing old standards and protocols.  
This document contains questions to be considered, as opposed to 
guidelines or rules that should in all cases be followed.  This first 
draft provides a framework for identifying and discussing questions 
of public policy concern, and invites members of the IETF community 
to contribute to the questions and discussions raised here.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-morris-policy-considerations-00.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
