At a high level, I'm curious what the difference is between an FAQ and a formal
policy? I ask since Section 6 of the FAQ seems to be providing instructions on
how IETF participants should conduct themselves, which seems more like a policy
than an FAQ.
Thanks,
David

Subject: Antitrust FAQ
The IETF does not have a formal antitrust policy. In fact, the ANTITRUST BOF
concluded that a formal policy was not needed. However, educational material
is needed so that all IETF participants are aware of the the law. The first
draft of a FAQ to fill this need has been developed. Please review the FAQ,
and if you discover any issues raise them in response to this message.
