Re: An Antitrust Policy for the IETF

a) It would seem sensible to leave the selection of the specific lawyer to the IASA / IAOC. b) I would hope that they will select a lawyer with specific exposure to anti-trust issues. That may well turn out to be the existing IETF counsel.

While _a_ lawyer is certainly needed, I see no reason why thus
shouldn't be the IETF counsel, assuming he is available for the extra
work, of course.

  As a way forward, I suggest that IASA pay a lawyer to come up with an
initial draft, and then this draft be brought to the community for
review and comment (and probably revision).  I think a new mail list
should be used for the discussion.  Once the new mail list reaches
rough consensus on the antitrust policy document, I suggest using the
usual process for adopting the policy as an IETF BCP.

What do others think?  I am open to suggestions for an alternative approach.
