Open Standards vs IOPS etc

Sun Jan 18 23:24:34 UTC 1998

I don't think IOPS claims to be any kind of "standards organization"... At least
their web site seems to indicate this. From the FAQ at http://www.iops.org:

How does IOPS.ORG differ from other "Internet organizations"?

IOPS.ORG membership comprises companies which provide access and/or
transport services for Internet traffic. IOPS.ORG focuses primarily on
resolving and on preventing technical and operational problems that require
inter-ISP coordination. IOPS.ORG does not develop standards and it does not
lobby.
