Re: IETF mission boundaries (Re: IESG proposed statement on the IETF mission )2003-10-17 08:25:38The gist of this comment is that someone developing a network application protocol ought to somehow get a blessing from the IETF. Reality check. Who got the IETF approval to deploy ICQ, Kazaa, or for that matter HTTP? The fact that someone did something without the IETF's approval does not imply that what they did is outside the scope of the IETF, or that it is beyond the IETF's mission.
