Re: [Gendispatch] Updated draft: Policy experts are IETF stakeholders

[Stephen Farrell <[e-mail]>]

Hiya,

I just read the draft and recalling the discussion at
IETF-116 I fear that a message that I heard being sent from
the mic line perhaps hasn't landed.

In particular, I think a number of people said that the best
way to ensure your favourite policy topics are considered in
IETF work is to have someone who is playing a full and
constructive part in that IETF work be familiar with your
favourite policy issues. Liaising, co-ordinating and setting
up new bodies will be nowhere near as effective.

Yes, that's expensive (in time), but so is being involved in
IETF work, so that seems fair to me fwiw.

Cheers,
S.
