From the discussion of the LLC draft strategy:

>>>>> Should the Values also mention the international scope: no loyalty to any particular economic, geographical or cultural factors?
>>>>
>>>> I think that’s an IETF consensus decision, which if articulated the LLC would of course uphold as set out in the 'Responsive' value.>
> Well, I will take that to gendispatch.

Should the IETF Mission Statement be updated to include something like:

The IETF owes no loyalty to any particular economic, geographical or cultural groupings.
