Re: IETF chair's blog

[[e-mail]]

Young people like myself may use other networks to communicate, but  
we also mistrust them. There is something virtuous about the IETF  
stance that is appealing and helpful to its brand (and made signing  
up for this listserve more attractive). I am wary of diluting that  
brand by putting the brand into walled gardens, especially any sort  
of Facebook page. Whatever use there is, it should be easy for people  
to find the open-source resources, keeping outside hosted content as  
a gateway into the ISTF.
