Whoa.

— this is an IAB document, not an IETF document
— it’s status is UNKNOWN
— if it had been assigned a more specific status, that would be HISTORIC
— it subject was about proper allocation of public resources for work-related activities:

"there is widespread dependence on the Internet
by its users for the support of day-to-day research activities.”

"The U.S. Government sponsors of this system have a fiduciary
responsibility to the public to allocate government resources wisely
and effectively."

etc.

This is from a time where large parts of every-day human reality hadn’t moved into the digital domain (and thus into the Internet) yet.  In 1989, nobody would have thought about making the point that the integrity of the digital facets of your personality is the subject of a basic human right.  We are way beyond any question about that.
