Right Dean - I guess you don't know much about Perjury Constrained
Declarations - there is a State and Federal Jurisdiction here at place...
which are you folks choosing?

Here is the problem - the contract may not be binding without some statement
specific to the selection of law since many of the IETF's participants exist
and work under different laws or jurisdictions than that of the US alone. I
think that makes it critical for the Beast's Comedic Practices  (BCP)
documents to disclose jurisdiction, and possibly some Dispute/ADR language
too.+

My concern is that if the contract between the parties is one specific to
any particular states laws then the contract would have to disclose that.
Since many states have differing laws without fully defining the scope and
jurisdiction behind the contract the contract becomes in some instances
unenforceable... Its also arguable that without proper declaration of the
basic law constraining the contract that there is no contract whether the
pieces of  what contracts are made up are created or not.

Dean -
So then its the ISOC's formal process to officially refuse to comply
with
Safe Harbor, the US DMCA and the EU's Security Requirements for
electronic
processes? Cool - I am betting that means the US Government cannot
participate with them too, right?

I must have missed missed something. What does the DMCA have to do with
this discussion?  I am also mystified as to why the DMCA would prevent
the US Government from participating in any case.

By the way - what State's or Country's laws are the IETF's documents
governed under and why is this  not in any of the IETF's documents
including
the Solicitation RFP itself???

This is found on the ISOC web site, under its incorporation documents.
http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/incorp.shtml

The ISOC is a District of Columbia corporation, in the United States.

My favorite is the Affidavit which comes with a perjury clause in it
with no statement of who's perjury laws were being used? US? Virginia?
California? who's ???

I'm not sure what particular affidavit you mean. An Affidavit is a
statement made under oath, usually to a court.  I think the "perjury
clause"  you referred to is your oath that the statements are true.
