[Chapter-delegates] [Fwd: [ISOC-members-announce] Announcing the IETF Journal - a new ISOC Publication]

[Franck Martin]

Fred,

It seems to me the journal is a kind of "Trip Report": We ent to IETF, 
we talked about that and that, we created this group, we made xxx RFCs,....

And it is still too technical. The technical part still need to stay.

Add a part that describes in layman terms a specific RFC or a group of RFC.

I see there is a group in IETF involved in SPAM. Can someone explain 
what is happening? Which technology are being looked at? What does it 
require to change on the client application.... What are the different 
players? Who is supporting what technology? Advantages and problems with 
one technology over the other? Where to go from now? etc....

I still need to finish to read the journal, but I like it as first 
issue. I just see it is still for technical people...

We need to find the "Hubert Reeves" of the Internet.

Cheers
