I have no idea what you mean by "reasonable and
intelligent." It seems to me that if they want
to participate in the process, there's always a
big need for people to review documents and provide
input. If their only interest is in whether or
not the IETF is publishing encumbered material,
that's a lot less helpful. Not publishing
hostile, false material on their website and
encouraging people to comment on a document they
haven't read would be a start, I think.
I've been trying to help this situation, for example, and I've
received a handful of rude comments and dismissals thrown my way just
in doing that. I don't think anyone deliberately intended to be rude
- they were understandably upset with the situation. What I'm saying
is that the FSF should consider the alternative methods of bringing up
their concerns that we sent to them, and we should consider a larger
measure of patience and tolerance when these things happen.
I'm guessing you weren't around when the IPR working
group was being chartered and later rechartered.
Anyway, I'd love to see more active participation in
protocol development by people who are actually implementing
stuff.
