Abstract:
   The IETF cannot ordain what standards or protocols are to be used on
   networks, but the standards development process in the IETF does have
   an impact on society through its normative standards setting process.
   Among other things, the IETF's work affects what is perceived as
   technologically possible and useful where networking technologies are
   being deployed, and its standards reflect what is considered by the
   technical community to be feasible and good practice.  Whereas there
   might not be agreement among the Internet protocol community on the
   specific political nature of the technological development process
   and its outputs, it is undisputed that standards and protocols are
   both products of a political process, and they can also be used for
   political means.
