I would support Bron’s experience and also say that there are several other barriers to entry that I’ve found. One is different approaches to topics than the mainstream IETF approach held by most IETF attendees. I am thinking about privacy/encryption, for example. But the other big barrier to entry is the draft upload tools. For a new person attending for the first time the tools are a relic of 1990 of thereabouts and can be confusing and difficult. In any case, I shall join the gendispatch group to discuss further!

It was a good authentication scheme, but applications don't do authentication schemes, that's the bailiwick of OAUTH, where ideas go to die (in my experience, that working group has been dysfunctional for my entire time at IETF - exhibit 'A' being the "Milestones" section of the about page, which lists 6 items all due in 2017) > > So we just removed all mention of authentication method and handwaved "the connection will be authenticated", because we wanted to publish something during the decade with years starting '201'. > > ... all that to say. One of the biggest barriers to entry in the IETF is stumbling across an area in which no work is able to progress due to entrenched issues within that area. > > And I'm not arguing for "no barriers to entry", because there needs to be a sanity check that we're actually producing high quality specifications, and that our specifications are compatible with each other so the entirety of the IETF's work product is a coherent whole. But it's hard to get started if you don't already have the connections to have your work sponsored by somebody who already knows their way around the IETF's idiosyncrasies. I'm doing some of that sponsoring myself now for the people from tc39 who are trying to get the IETF to look at defining an extended datetime format. > > Cheers, > > Bron. > > On Tue, Feb 23, 2021, at 11:07, Fernando Gont wrote: >> Folks, >> >> We have submitted a new I-D, entitled "Diversity and Inclusiveness in >> the IETF". >> >> The I-D is available at: >> https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-gont-diversity-analysis-00.txt <https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-gont-diversity-analysis-00.txt> >> >> We expect that our document be discussed in the gendispatch wg >> (https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/gendispatch/about/ <https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/gendispatch/about/>).
