The outputs of the IETF are RFCs. The Matrix foundation does more directly oversee the "de-facto" Matrix, so has more influence, could bow to government pressure or changing laws, etc. etc.
- Arathorn 8mo agoHmmm. The main difference between the Matrix Fdn publishing a spec (https://spec.matrix.org https://spec.matrix.org) made out of Matrix Spec Changes (https://spec.matrix.org/proposals https://spec.matrix.org/proposals) versus IETF only publishing RFCs is simply that the Matrix Fdn also maintains a consolidated version of the spec. I'm not sure that makes the protocol governance fundamentally more vulnerable to govt influence?
