So you're saying that the indictment (which as described does not
constitute a conviction and therefore is not case law) is relevant if
someone creates an identity for the purpose of deluding others, uses
it to inflict emotional distress, and the result is the suicide of a
member of the discussion forum - and the bully lives in the City of
Dardenne Prairie or more generally the State of Missouri, which have
enacted statutes since the girl's death. Is that correct?

no Fred - I suggest that per the description of a FEDERAL INTEREST COMPUTER 
in the US Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, that any instance where IETF 
member's converse with each other electronically about how they are going 
prevent anyone else's effort from being submitted, or vetted and advanced, 
or prevent that person from participating in the IETF through the PR 
process, that those actions DO constitute criminal and civilly acitonable 
ones.

In your case as an IESG member they also constitute a Fiduciary 
Responsibility violations too...

And so - you know  that meeting with Cisco's GC I kept talking about, I am 
available all next week and since my office is about 5 files down First 
Street from your legal department this is a no brainer eh?

I don't plan to comment further in this thread. In fact, had you and
Philip not replied, I would not have been aware of it. To my mind, my
stance is a very appropriate one.

yes - you are intentionally denying that certain US Laws apply to the IETF's 
operations and that is simply not true. The IETF is constrained by US law 
whether its in the US or not based on that all US participants would be tied 
to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

So again,  lets ask Mark Chambers what he thinks of this OK???.

I believe I told you to show competent legal advice saying that
what you
were posting was relevant to the IETF.

I have read your provided material, and fail to see any sign of such
competent legal advice; no name but your own is attached to the
claim of
relevance.

(for those who wonder what case it is, it is
