There must be better ways to draft text to obtain such protection.
IANAL. As far as I know, YANAL. So I don't see how either of us
could really make that assertion. If there's a jurisdiction where
accusing somebody of not being a lawyer is considered to be harassment,
a way of keeping the matter out of the courts of that jurisdiction
is for the person who's been accused of not being a lawyer to
invoke the Ombudsteam. This works regardless of geography.
Elsewhere I explain that we must be able to judge the lawyers' output.
We cannot simply take it, no questions asked.
An IETF process is insufficient for keeping a harassment case out of
the courts if the IETF process itself produces a controversy such as
might cause one to file a civil lawsuit. A process with the faults I
listed is not confidence inspiring.
