The Internet is now commercial. And the IETF the first strategic
opponent of the Civil Society.

Great care should now be paid to the Patinum, Gold and Silver Member
ISOC's affiliates IAB/IETF's positions as now revamped by this
declaration. Previous RFCs on the matter (RFC 3869 and RFC 3935) said
that network technology neutrality depended on Governments' funding
of the Internet R&D and that the Internet technology was not to be
the technology that's possible but the one that resonated with
concepts and core values not mentionned any more and even probably opposed.

This document refers to the *market*, *not* to the users *nor* to the people.
8/26 the Internet 9/11.

The IETF Chair indicates that they want to publish this document as
an RFC. I personnally intend to appeal this publication and/or join
any collective appeal that could be formed. My personnal position is
to defend the IETF "edge-user empowerment" core value documented in
RFC 3935, Statement of Mission for the IETF.
