Just curious: do you see draft-klensin-ip-service-terms-04.txt as a
useful contribution to this effort? My understanding is that the it is
motivated to be helpful input to the task you describe.

My government has concluded after various complains, that with the
advance of broadband connections some providers in the market deliver
not-so-compatible-and-transparant services. E.g. NATs are used inside
the network, ADSL2+ and VDSL don't fit together very well etc. This
would not be bothersome if we had a clean and open market situation,
as the consumers would vote with their feet and make it right. However
we don't.
Thus my government has decided to ask a small committee to make an
inventory of "may" "shoulds" and "musts" for broadband infrastructure
in order to educate people providing the service, to inform the the
consumers and to help the content providers. (And no, it will not be
enforced with a conformance test center :-).
I have been asked to participate in this effort, and will do so, but I
was wondering wether other countries have gone through the same
excercise. I already got hold of an article describing a similar
effort in Italy.
if you know of a similar effort in your country please mail me
privately with answers and references. I will compile a summary for
the IETF list.
Thanks,
