Mostly writing down common sense.  Don't take too much thought.

Sounds good to me.  and now for More soapboxing.

I think that what Don & I wrote down will form the basis for any AUP.
It certainly is in every AUP I have seen.  There are AUP components that
we left out, in part because they are site specific.  Others were added
because they have applicability to most situations.

I think this draft has many of the hallmarks of the site security policy
rfc.  Individual situations are too varied to document specifics.  The
IETF make standards that are global in scope, and much of what I see
from this group is US-centric.

I guess in the end, it really does not matter what we publish or don't.
Organizations -WILL- create AUPs based on what they think is important.
What we have is the opportunity to show that the IETF recognizes this and
documents some common sense items that should be considered when an AUP
is created.  I do not intend for this to be a default AUP that people can
use.  It is a reference document to cite when they create thier own.
