Please qualify your false statement I would appreciate - what was A-net all 
about.  IETF is a powerful mover, just as it spoke against spamming.  Without 
IETF prodding nothing would ever happen.  Imagine that UK sub crews are told to 
tune into BBC to check if London has been nuked, before retaliating.  BBC and 
other internet media orgs should look for such a standard.
 
I do not really think that it is lack of stray nukes that keeps us safe.  It 
may be that those who have them lack triggering knowledge and transport to 
target is a problem.  Even if you have nuke detectors, they could use microwave 
EMP disruptors to get to town. Ok RAND Corp and others would also help.

My answer to your question is that I want IETF, ISO and ITU to set 
nuclear warfare standards,

It might be useful for someone to produce such standards, but they're 
really not in the IETF's domain of expertise. Maybe some part of ISO 
would be better.

The internet was not made for e-commerce, its mission was to
communicate during nuclear warfare.

False.
