Yes, pure politics, zero operational content. When was the last
time the IAB released a technical, politically neutral paper?
Ans: a ver long time ago (years). That paper caused me to cast a
negative vote for Brian Carpenter, in the last ISOC elections.
They presented zero technical support for their position. It was
all anecdotal, pure opinion, no substance.
I submit that the IAB isn't doing its job and until they do, they
should refrain from wasting their resources in the policy arena.
