Subject: OBSLETE: IETF, ISOC, IAB, ETC

With the sad and pre-mature
 passing of Mr. Postel it is
 time to reform our collective
 thoughts not only to the
 directive organization but
 also to any legacy supporting
 bodies for the now disapating
 old order of things Internet.
 We cannot put old wine into
 the new skins we will be
 creating. 

 Time to work on new structures
 to replace those based on an
 obsolete structure. IETF, IAB,
 ISOC, ETC all were reasonable
 responses to the times they 
 emmerged under. They are
 equally unreasonable in light
 of the democratic renovations
 currently under way.

 BTW Fred consider this my
 "unsubscribe" message to the
 IETF list and a formal revoke
 of any interest in BOFs or any
 other such nonsense. Play your
 games without me or my energies.
 There is serious work to be 
 done and it won't be in the
 IETF. Cheers.
