Perhaps you misread the IETF draft... It was saying: Every site has
some form of AUP; whatever you want yours to be, you should consider these
things; by the way, as an Appendix, here is one site's AUP as an example of
how ONE site resolved their AUP.
In other words: The portion you quoted has NO official status.
Now, should the IETF get involved in mentioning that sites should come up
with their own AUP? Since there was nothing in there requiring any AUP
terms, why not? The IETF WG are techies who understand what some of the
issues are -- they aren't suggesting how you should resolve them for
yourself, just stating what they are.
