Ted not being a lawyer doesn't mean the IESG or the IETF gets to erect
processes or methods which are contrary to the Public Policies of the United
States since ISOC is a US Corporation, or likewise which violates any US
Laws or Treaties that the US has with other Countries; Likewise this
probably also
pertains to state laws as well.
Additional to US Law, it may also require compliance with the
EU Data Integrity, Privacy, and Security Requirements since so many of our
participants are from Europe and the Email-Hosting services for many of the
IETF's WG's are here in the US.
Not being a lawyer means a lawyer needs to do a legal analysis on the
process and issue an opinion as to whether the contract's and their
components make sense.

Dean,
Neither of us are lawyers, and even if we were, the
application of the facts to law is not within the scope of the IETF
mailing list. I'm also confused what point you are trying to make,
but I suggest this particular thread be moved off of the IETF list, as
it is not in scope of the list charter.
