Erik, I do believe there is legitimate concern what exactly the scope of
the ISOC and the IETF is and in how far self-elected representatives
of the "Internet" intend to regulate the way we do business.
An example from the IETF area that you oversee, a couple of excerpts from
the proposed charter for the CXII working group:
> 3. SCOPE
>
> CXII will make no initial assumptions about how these networks will be
> interconnected. All aspects (financial, legal and policy-oriented, and
> technical) will be discussed.

> Issues Identified to Date

.......
> 2) Legal representation for the Internet
> - How should contracting be done for the Internet side
.......
> 4) Business model
