>We are required by California law ...

Why does California law apply to the IETF? To the extent that the IETF
has a legal existence, it is my understanding that ISOC and CNRI, the
grantors of the IETF trust, live in Virginia.  AMS is in California
but AMS is a contractor.

R's,
John

to legal creep.  The next thing you know all the mail will have
footers purporting to be confidential.
