Folks The IETF has generally steered clear of political entanglements, which I think wise. Nonetheless, I raise the question of whether we should respond to the proposed U.S. ban on nationals of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen. Scott Aaronson reports one of his MIT students will probably have to leave if he can't get his visa removed. We all know how many Iranians are world-class technologists, including in computer science and electrical engineering. I hope many from outside the United States speak up. The issues around Trump make it hard to be objective here. Should we take a stand? If so, should it be symbolic or substantive? Symbolic actions could include: - A resolution - Establishing remote hubs for our meetings in Iran and one of the Arabic speaking countries. ISOC has funded remote hubs. - Outreach in Farsi and Arabic to show that whatever actions the government takes, the IETF welcomes participation. This could be as simple as Jari Arkko writing a letter to the editor of the leading newspapers with an invitation for all to join our work. Some might also think that we should move the July 2018 meeting from San Francisco to a location accessible to more of our members, perhaps to Mexico or Canada. ------------ As we discuss this, I urge everyone to avoid distracting comments about U.S. politics. We're not going to change many minds here pro or con the new U.S. President. Instead, let's keep the discussion here to how we should respond to a major nation refusing visas to so many of our members.
