While I will state that the IETF has a lot to improve on with regards to inclusion of small operators (big server men attitude by incumbent participants), I do not consider this to be anywhere near an antitrust case. There are competing standardization bodies, notably OARC for the DNS. And I do not consider IETF to be "not open" to collaboration by small operators either, especially on the mailing lists. Any legal action based on this or any of my previous emails' contents will be met with an equal response.
