The IETF legal counsel and insurance agent suggest that the IETF ought to have an antitrust policy. To address this need, a lawyer is needed. As a way forward, I suggest that IASA pay a lawyer to come up with an initial draft, and then this draft be brought to the community for review and comment (and probably revision). I think a new mail list should be used for the discussion. Once the new mail list reaches rough consensus on the antitrust policy document, I suggest using the usual process for adopting the policy as an IETF BCP.
What do others think? I am open to suggestions for an alternative approach. Russ _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
