Dear Alejandro, dear all,

I confess that I have often difficulties understanding your quite synthetic
prose (my fault undoubtedly) but...

First of all, you will appreciate that we do NOT specifically mention the
IETF in the Communication which includes the passage under consideration
here. The IETF is one (very important) entity developing Internet
technology (or technology specifications). But this is an IAB mailing list,
so I guess it would be bizarre to talk about other organisations.

Secondly, ETSI has been working on issues such as energy efficiency,
accessibility (for persons with disabilities) etc; and has done so in
cooperation with EU Institutions and bodies, as well as other stakeholders,
as is its mandate to do. I will freely admit I'm not an "ETSI expert", so
I'll be happy to put you in touch with more knowledgeable people if you
wish.

Thirdly, you use of the term "bridle". That's how you might see it, but all
the Commission is proposing is to have a reflection / dialogue on the
opportunity for better structured, multi-stakeholder engagement and
discussions on the relationships between technology and public policy
issues. I'm not sure that's enough to qualify for the term. ;)

Best,

Andrea
