I agree that it's not normal English.....
Sorry, to interrupt your important discussion about legal English grammar
oddities. But it happens that today is the last day for comments to the
WGIG. To formulate my own fair comments I need to be confirmed the IETF is
not interested in addressing the needs they documented as they think they
have adjusted for a long.
Background. There are may be today 850.000.000 non permanent web watchers
and spam sufferers using their world digital ecosystem with the IETF end to
end Internet application, with ICANN as an operator, and may be 50.000.000
DNs and 97.5% illegitimate DNS root calls. There are also 190 countries
decided to get a return from their 25 last years efforts in reducing
computer and bandwidth costs. They issued an RFP under the form of
Resolutions and Points of actions. They have a last call period ending
tomorrow.
When you translate their request in rough figures, they want to support
within 20 years (shorter delays for choices and planning) an extended
services, broad bandwidth continuity and an interpersonal brain to brains
(cpu2cpu) ubiquitous and 24/365 space of secure, reliable, fast privacy
protected multi-exchanges. One can guesstimate 20.000.000.000 stations,
7.000.000.000 users (or more as individuals have home/office systems),
probably one or two terra names and more numbers and RFIDs, using 7620
languages (ISO last current count), 20.000 dialects (last non-ISO very
reduced count), for 42650 business areas (last UN count) most with their
proximity risk contained networks, in full respect both of national,
business, personal privacy, empowerment and sovereignty and of support of
States regalian services, at a cost and an intergovernance complexity the
developing countries can foot, so they can bridge the digital divide
without fearing an e-colonization.
Support to every bidder is available by the 167 years old, Governments
created, ITU.Competition is at least by the users' own . "InterNAT & co"
solution.
