Just three questions :
1/does the IETF support or contest the "Inclusive Name Space" (the one
operated by NewRoot instead of the ICANN)?
See RFC 2826; the IAB thinks that one root is enough.
2/is this list reserved for all IETF-supporting people only, or is it
also open to IETF opponents/challengers?
You have adressed three lists.
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org exists as an open forum to further the work of the
IETF.
Its charter can be found on http://www.ietf.org/maillist.html
iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org exists to communicate with the Internet Engineering
Steering
Group (IESG).
namedroppers(_at_)ops(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org exists as an open forum to further
the work
of the DNSEXT IETF working group, described in
http://www2.ietf.org/html.charters/dnsext-charter.html
None of the lists restrict who can post to it (apart from spam control).
On both of the open lists, repeated posting of material irrelevant to the
purpose of the list can lead to your posting privilleges being restricted.
This has nothing to do with what you think, or say, and everything to do
with the forum in which you choose to say it.
3/knowing that the Internet Society is the only official body amongst
all the Internet-related structures (IETF, IAB, IESG, etc.), created to
host all of them, is it decent and acceptable to dispute/oppose/mock it,
here in this list?
Since the IETF list (ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org) is intended as a forum to disucss the
policies of the IETF (among other things), reasoned opinions about the
relationship between the IETF and ISOC is a valid subject for this list, no
matter whether the person stating that opinion thinks that the relationship
is a good thing or a bad thing.
However, it would be inappropriate to the purpose of the namedroppers list.
Mockery is not generally considered a reasoned form of opinion.
Did this answer your question?
