[arch-d] FYI: "ISOC" "New IP" "discussion" "paper"

[Toerless Eckert <[e-mail]>]

Dear architecture-discuss, Olaf

I hope this forward is beneficial to the IETF architecture-discussion mailing list.

- Even though the the appended email claims that this was widely cross-posted,
  i did NOT see it in any of the many IETF mailing lists i am subscribed to.

- I could not find any actual public place (mailing list) for an open
  discussion about he topic of the paper:

- [e-mail] does not allow Global ISOC members to
  join by themselves, nor do i know if it would welcome discussion.
  In fact it is not even listed on the set of pubic ISOC mailing lists.
  So the nature of this mailing list seems to be secret to me.

- [e-mail] does seem to be just an alias for
  the authors. Unfortunately, the set of recipient seems to be secret,
  so i would not know the extend of people who will receive my emails,
  no would i be able to know about any other feedback (no public archive
  of the alias). If there was for example any US EAR entity listed
  recipient on that private mailing list alias, i could be violating
  US export regulations by sending technical detail explanations to 
  such a non-public alias.

>From these few data points, i find the proposed communication mechanisms
about that paper somewhat confusing, if not concerning, but maybe i do
misunderstand how ISOC is or is not an open communtiy like i have experienced
IETF to be.

Cheers
    Toerless

We are trying to understand if and how the New IP works with the Internet as we know it, if it actually solves problems that cannot be solved in the Internet, and, if the ITU-T is developing standards, where other standards development organizations (SDOs) have change control.

It also aims to inform and shape the discussion from the Internet’s Society’s perspective. Eventually the debate around it will inform our position and the potential further evolution of the discussion paper itself. Note that the paper documents the Internet Society’s emerging opinion, but does not represent a final Internet Society position. Instead, we intend it as a means to gather information and insight from our community on the topic.
