Your position is insufficient to determine if it was a public document given:
(1) that it WAS avaialble via anonymous FTP on a NISC machine
(2) that it undoubtedly was a public policy discussion which
farrnet HAVE shared with the community
Lastly, you have probaly embarassed the membership of FARRNET, by your public
actions with this materials (I have private messages asking me "what is
farrnet hiding") and then slapping David around publicly.

PS: And God forbid that farrnet or the internet emulate what CREN does,
that is an irrelevant point as far as one FARRNET member is concerned.
-----------------
The note identified the document as:
'"A Strategic Plan for FARNET" (draft)'
I don't think that sounds like public document. Certainly if
FARNET were to release a plan as a public document, you would be
among the very first to see it.
Now answer my question about how you would feel about if
somebody had done that to one of CREN's internal document.
