Well, this is a cultural thing :-) Some of our American colleagues cannot avoid
using examples related to the American constitution, history or academy,
forgetting that out-of-the-US interlocutors may not that familiar with them.
Luckily, they did not mention any baseball rule in this discussions (yet) :-)

Relating to the statement above(I assume Phillip is addressing the US

sorry, I am bit confused .. since IETF is an international
organization.
I changed the subject line as I am as confused as to whether the IETF is
an international organization.
There was a mention of "First the Civil Rights act, then Selma... ;)".
I assume that the act is an Act for the United States of America.
Harvard was also mentioned. I did a quick search and I found out that
"Harvard University is an American private Ivy League research
university".
