Hi Andrew -

It's pretty hard to not take the above with a grain of salt. You're not 
just an ISOC employee, but the president and CEO and as such have a lot 
of sway over the funding ISOC provides to the IETF. I can't imagine the 
I*  and community not giving your statements more weight than they might 
another generic IETF participant just because you say you're speaking 
for yourself.  It feels somewhat passive/aggressive too but that may 
just be me.

I can't remember Lynn or Cathy making a "not speaking for" statement in 
the time they were in your job, but this is the third from you in last 
day or so.  I wondering if it's really appropriate for you to do so 
given the relationships between the two organizations and your position?

Later, Mike
