Hi,

I have one question and a comment.

> than purely technical.

My question is: What is the evidence that this is *increasingly* true?
In my opinion, IETF decisions have had policy and societal impact since
IETF 1 in 1986. Most of the Internet's impact on society was the result
of decisions taken before, say, 1995.

My comment is that I'd like to see a discussion added on the possible
detrimental effects of increased participation of "policy stakeholders"
in IETF technical discussions.

Regards
     Brian
