Re: My comments to the press about RFC 2474

For the record, I do not consider pointing out a documented employer
interest after one has been explicitly denied to be a 'troll'.

If you are demanding issue of a press release on a subject, the fact
that your employer is a paid promoter of specific policy outcomes on
that issue is a fact that warrants disclosure.

ITIF is paid to present a certain point of view in the FCC rule making
process.

Therefore you have an interest that you really should have disclosed
before making all these rather unpleasant statements on and off the
list.


Participants in the IETF are not always speaking for their employer.
But that does not mean that we can claim to be a disinterested party.
To make an affirmative claim of being disinterested in those
circumstances is contemptible.
