Nope. The IETF isn't political at all.

We take positions, and we're proud of it.

A Mission Statement for the IETF (RFC 3935) section 4.1 is most explicit:

   The Internet isn't value-neutral, and neither is the IETF.  We want
   the Internet to be useful for communities that share our commitment
   to openness and fairness.  We embrace technical concepts such as
   decentralized control, edge-user empowerment and sharing of
   resources, because those concepts resonate with the core values of
   the IETF community.  These concepts have little to do with the
   technology that's possible, and much to do with the technology that
   we choose to create.

The powerful IETF community reaction to the pervasive monitoring issue
just shows that what we adopted as IETF consensus in BCP 95, 2004 is
still what this community's about.

And I'm proud of that.

I'm pleased to announce that there will be a screening of CITIZENFOUR at 7pm 
on Sunday in Prague (right after the Welcome Reception), in Congress Hall.

For more information on the film, see:

We'll be starting promptly at 7, and space is limited. This event is open to 
all IETF attendees and companions. Thanks to the ADs who have made the room 
available.
