<div class="moz-cite-prefix">It is a matter of the level, lower
levels and application level are today decentralized systems, so

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">>
Technical people see the beauty of centralized Internet
system.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I have to
take issue with this. Technical people, in my experience,
are great fans of decentralized systems. Decentralization is
why TCP/IP won out over OSI etc, after all. Not to say
consolidation isn't an issue.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">More
generally, perhaps a re-reading of <a

moz-do-not-send="true">The Tao of IETF</a> is in order?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">As far as
representation of end users goes, "usercentricity" was an
early ISOC pillar, and I believe is still held in high
regard. But this is in a technical rather than a
political sense.</div>
