I just don't buy the IETF as the group of brilliant but tortured > souls who have "snarl" at each other to make themselves heard over the din of "Bad > Ideas". Well, again, I'm not even sure we're all talking about the same thing when we use the word "snarling". And while I'm pretty sure that we need a way to push back on Bad Ideas, I'm not sure that what people are calling "snarling" is only or even mostly about discouraging Bad Ideas. Maybe, for example, some of it is about "baggage" - old resentments for hard-fought battles lost, perceived insults, or even genuinely bad behavior. > Where is this apocalyptic horde of Bad Ideas that is sucking up all of our precious > resources? One doesn't have to look very far to find some, just follow ietf@ or any of several mailing lists. In theory at least, the situation would be worse if we didn't try to discourage them. > The IETF meetings are growing smaller. Clearly we have figured out how > to turn people away at the door. With respect, it doesn't follow from just that information. I'm sure we have surveys which have shown that some people have stopped attending because of what they perceived as rudeness, but there may be many more reasons than that. What is IETF doing these days that's exciting, that helps make the Internet generally better in a way that's obvious to most participants, that gives participants a sense of purpose and makes them proud to work with IETF? I don't think it's the null set, but it's certainly not like it was 30 years ago when there was a general sense of excitement about making this wonderful resource available to the world. In conversations with IETFers I often get a sense of futility, as in "sure we could theoretically improve X, but we'd have to deal with these technical constraints and/or these people and/or these Big Companies". There's a lot more inertia around many kinds of Internet development than there used to be. It's probably not IETF's fault, so much as a symptom of success. But it has changed the landscape and how we feel about our work. And yet, conditions have changed enough that the constraints around deployment of new features in some applications protocols and some layers of the stack may be less than they once were. Understanding where we can make a positive difference may be as important as understanding what limitations there are. Keith
