My guess on a draft which I presented to GENDISPATCH was that it was unlikely that it would be sponsored by the Responsible Area Director. It was better, in my opinion, to get the so-called "running code" experience on that. In my opinion, whether it was a simple question or not depends on the level of experience of the persons engaged in the exchange. The debates are, in general, complex given the vested interests. I remember a question which was asked in a session about the IETF which was partially funded by an organization I am affiliated with. A young woman from West Africa asked the speaker how he gets paid for what he what he was doing. It was an awkward moment as there is an expectation that people residing in Africa should not ask such a question to a person who resides outside the region. >Certainly, if one is not patient, persistent and open to argument, >one will not succeed in the IETF, but that is nothing to do >with diversity and inclusiveness. How we (those already here) >treat newcomers is of course important, but that is a quite >different question from the one you asked. The "open to argument" is actually related to diversity. In some cultures direct confrontation is viewed as immature and unnecessary. >We already advise newcomers to watch the discussion for a while >before contributing [1]. Perhaps that advice should be strengthened. The advice to newcomers is likely against IETF Consensus [1]. Regards, S. Moonesamy 1. There was a discussion about "adults in the room".
