Hi Hannes, On 2/23/21 1:51 AM, Hannes Tschofenig wrote: > Hi Fernando, > > I just took a quick look at the document and I missed one point that increasingly worries me working in the IETF, namely the increasing number of participants who are not interested to write any code*. That's a great point! One of the attractions (to me, at least) of the IETF was that it wasn't some guy with some slides and a story. It was someone with an idea, a reference implementation of the idea, and results of (partially) deploying the code and seeing what it did. That was very compelling. We learned things from the running code that actually helped improve the specification. We were doing engineering! When I think back on it, such a demand to have running code must've been quite a barrier to inclusiveness (which might've had an impact on some axes of diversity) for some. But isn't that a good thing? Doesn't a certain amount of exclusivity, or demand for some standard for participation, result in better product? I think it does. We should be engineering the Internet. I hope we don't throw out the baby with the bathwater when we get so focused on diversity and inclusion. Yes, there has been less and less a demand on running code (sadface emoji) and I share your worry. Not only are some participants not interested in writing any code, we are also coming up with work that does not require any code at all. Look at the WG that people want to charter here! There is no demand for any code whatsoever. And there is even a reluctance to state a linkage between proposal and desired result, the basis of our engineering-- "how we get there with this idea" is not to be discussed. This is all very worrying. regards, Dan. -- "The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane." -- Marcus Aurelius
