RFC 8890 - The Internet is for End Users
Summary
Mark Nottingham discusses RFC 8890 'The Internet is for End Users' by the IAB, arguing that IETF decisions should be grounded in end users’ interests and that rough consensus processes shape Internet protocol standards. The post uses examples like DNS-over-HTTPS and Encrypted Client Hello to show how technical choices have political and societal implications, and it argues for explicit principles to guide governance and maintain Internet openness.
