There will be a presentation about "unwritten rules" in Buenos 
Aires.  The group responsible for working on those issues is the EDU 
team ( https://www.ietf.org/edu/ ).

The unwritten rule nowadays is not to say anything which might cause 
offence.  A person who is not a newcomer will understand what is not 
being said.  A person who is not a newcomer but who is inexperienced 
will not understand what is not being said.
