I agree with Paul.
Having now quickly read the article in question I don't even see what
the "problem" is, including the somewhat provocative headline.
But if you (collecively) would like a more technical and less
"sensational" (if that is your perception of the article in question)
approach, we do have at least two journals that can be found at every
IETF meeting and two tall editors that go along with them ;-)
We're happy to talk to you and we might even let you review the text
before it is published ;-)

The article in question,
<http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/072108-ipv6nat.html>, directly quotes
Fred Baker, Russ Housley, Alain Durand, and Geoff Huston. How many
IETF-related articles in other magazines bother quoting more than one person,
normally someone who is trying to promote an Internet Draft? How many discuss
competing proposals, including giving the history of the topic?
Folks: please review all of the IETF-related articles in the IT trade press
from the past five years. Discard the articles that say "the IETF is
considering Foo" when in fact someone had submitted a -00 draft. The very
small pile that remains, including interviews with our leadership about where
they think the IETF is going and in-depth articles comparing multiple
contenders being considered in IETF areas, are mostly written by Carolyn Duffy
Marsan.
