Hello Bob, I think you are being too harsh on the IETF, ISOC, ICANN, ITU, and "whatever other unsanctioned, informal acretion of pseudo-authorities should arise". As an example, a group of people decided to coordinate efforts in order to communicate with each other. They agreed on a forma

When the procedures dictate that government agencies get involved at certain points and you notify them of the outage or problem, what other steps do you recommend? Operational entities are not, in most cases, law enforcement agencies. There is a limit to how much notification one should under
