Abstract:
   The process of producing today's Internet technologies, through a
   culture of open participation and diverse collaboration has proved
   strikingly efficient and effective, and it is distinctive among
   standards organizations.  For its early years, participation in the
   IETF and its antecedent was almost entirely composed of well-funded,
   American, white, male engineers, demonstrating a distinctive and
   challenging group dynamic, both in management and in personal
   interactions.  In the case of the IETF, interaction style can often
   contain singularly aggressive behavior, often including singularly
   hostile tone and content.  Groups with greater diversity make better
   decisions.  Obtaining meaningful diversity requires more than generic
   good will and statements of principle.  Many different behaviors can
   serve to reduce participant diversity or participation diversity.
   This document discusses IETF participation, in terms of the nature of
   diversity and practical issues that can increase or decrease it.  The
   document represents the authors' assessments and recommendations,
   following general disussions of the issues in the IETF.
