My blog post yesterday regarding NSA's corruption of IETF mentioned that there's a current stealth project to silence dissent in IETF. This project aims to change IETF rules so that new censors can permanently ban people from IETF participation simply for (e.g.) objecting to NSA's proposals to weaken cryptographic standards. The new rules will go into effect unless enough people hear what's happening and file objections by Tuesday the 7th of October, which, at the time I'm writing this, is still in the future.
