IETF Representative needed in Argentina Sep 5-12 for ITU-T meeting

2009-07-29 Thread Patrik Fältström
As the liaison from IETF to ITU-T I find it being important that we  
continue to have good cooperation between the SDOs. This implies of  
course that IETF people can be on site at as many ITU-T meetings as  
possible


ITU-T SG-11/13 is meeting in Argentina Sep 1-12. We do have Monique  
Morrow as an IETF representative Sep 1-5, but she can not stay during  
the whole meeting.


I hereby ask whether there are anyone can represent IETF those days?

If so, please let me know.

Re: [TLS] Last Call: draft-ietf-tls-extractor (Keying Material Exporters for Transport Layer Security (TLS)) to Proposed Standard

But for any standard, there might be a 'submarine' patent (i.e. one not
declared to the IETF, which will be sprung once use of the standard is
widespread). That standard will have "invite[d] people into danger".

That argument seems to be based on the general premise that "Since we
can never be perfectly safe, we should ignore even obvious risks."

Or if I don't like a particular proposed standard, I can say 'hey, I have 
this
patent, and I claim it applies'.

In theory yes, but it seems unlikely that anyone wants to do this.
We should not ignore a real danger to avoid an imaginary one.

So what's the answer - no standards at all? Of course not, we take a
calculated risk, based on an intuitive cost-benefit analysis, and do the
standards.

In this case we see a real and specific threat, and we can live
without the standard just fine.

(And sometimes the benefits of an encumbered standard are actually worth the
costs. Case in point, the standards which used RSA public-private 
keysystems.)

Since the patents mostly prevented the use of RSA, there was no room
for the standards to do any good, or much harm.

Re: [TLS] Last Call: draft-ietf-tls-extractor (Keying MaterialExporters for Transport Layer Security (TLS)) to Proposed Standard

2009-07-29 Thread Richard Stallman
Many patents are filed for defensive reasons.  Ie. If I don't patent it,
then someone else will, and then I won't be able to use the idea I came
up with.  The other defensive reason is so that if company A tries to
sue company B for infringing patents, then company B can threaten to sue
company A back - and the end result of the mutual assured destruction is
that no one ends up suing anyone else.  In other words, patents can
actually reduce the number of law suits out there.

If you are claiming that one additional software patent can result in
fewer software patent infringement lawsuits, indeed that can sometimes
be true.  But lawsuits are just the tip of the iceberg of the danger
of patents.

When people decide not to distribute a program, or not to implement a
feature, because they fear they would be sued, no lawsuit occurs, but
the patent has done harm.

  In many cases,
patents are filed long before the technology is standardized - and, if
disclosed properly through the IETF process, can be weighed when
determining whether to adopt a standard.

IETF should use this leverage to refuse to issue a standard unless the
companies in question allow it to be freely implemented and used.

  In some cases, the IETF may
choose to adopt a patent-encumbered standard simply because it's
technically superior to other options

That is an example of what not to do.

I agree completely with Richard Stallman's responses to an earlier email. I
repeat the relevant parts of that earlier exchange below. This reflects a
basic policy that should be adopted by IETF.

15-20 years ago at the IETF

2009-07-29 Thread Dave CROCKER
At the plenary tonight, I commented on some folk who in the first set of IETF 
Area Directors.


Area Directors and the IESG were first organized in 1989.  In researching this 
bit of history, I was quite struck by the percentage of that early set of Area 
Directors who are still active in the IETF.


Besides myself, I cited Ross Callon, Bob Hinden, and Steve Crocker.

As I say, that was in the very first set.

But within the next 5 years (up to 1994) the list of still-active early ADs 
includes:  Dave Borman, Allison Mankin, John Klensin, Scott Bradner and Joel 
Halpern.


There are a lot of ISPs that would love a churn rate that low...

On Thursday's Multipath TCP BOF

2009-07-29 Thread Christian Vogt

Dear all -

Since I won't make it to tomorrow's Multipath TCP BOF unfortunately, I
would like to express my support for this effort by email.

Multipath TCP promises to enable an attractive set of new features --
ranging from automatic fail-over, to load-balancing, to mobility
support.  Even though there are, of course, important challenges to be
surmounted, early analyses indicate the feasibility of the concept as
such.  And the strong academic background and support from key IETF
folks ensures that people with clue and sufficient time will work on it.

Therefore, personally, I believe this BOF should be given a thumbs-up
for working group establishment.

- Christian
