non-related politics, e.g. whether or not W is a war criminal, would not
be useful or seemingly related to internet operations.

some actions of the fcc, iana, some court/legal actions, calea, ... on
the other hand, do affect us operationally.

admittedly it's not always an easy line.

if it could be automated, we would not need people to help with it.
