Yes, and I certainly support the higher level message of RFC8890. But actually organizing outreach to civil society and governments is way outside the IETF's and IAB's skill set. We have traditionally relied on ISOC for that, and that's one of the reasons that the IAB is chartered "as a source of advice and guidance to the Board of Trustees and Officers of the Internet Society concerning technical, architectural, procedural, and (where appropriate) policy matters". Has the ISOC Board discussed RFC8890?
