Several corrections here: 1. The discussion did not happen during any discussion of rechartering (Mallory showed a slide about what a new name for HPRC will look like and then moved to the current objectives of HRPC, which is the timestamp you refer to). We didn't have time at IETF116 to talk about in depth about recharting, so that context that you start with is not the correct one. The timestamp you point out to at 7.20 is about what the HPRC objectives are. 2. The UN didn't only invite people from HRPC but also from the IAB and IETF, and I think, in general, researchers. How they chose to invite people and in which framing is something that I guess only they know, and I will not like to speculate on this as I don't like to pretend to know what organizations and/or people intend or not ;) > As I already noted, I have heard this message repeated back from > policy-makers (some of them were in Yokohama but others were not), so > this is a rhetorical effect that the RG's output is having in the world > even if not intended. I will like to see data about this. Again, I personally don't like speculation and, as this is a research group, I prefer to see quantifiable and representive data that backs up claims. I haven't heard this from any policy marker, in fact many of them don't seem to know what the IETF is (which is sad). I do think that sometimes for people considered "new" to the IETF/IRTF, like myself, when speaking and being nervous, can confuse different acronyms (I tend, for example, to forget how to pronounce PEARG). I think that if we want a community that embraces new-comers and is open for them, we should help them instead of publicly stating if they made a mistake or not. We can also create more templates on chairs slides or agendas (which I'm happy to start some work on). I think a degree of that is needed or else less and less new people will be joining IRTF/IETF. But I do see that when speaking about HRPC is good to always frame it in the IRTF setting (which again we try hard to do).
