I agree for protocol standards we will need implementors comments and hums,
that is why remote hums are more important which the draft misses to
mention. We need more reviewers and implementors, not more management
members.

We may think to attract/pay implementors not managers. If IETF creates a
special hat/authority for implementors or a body, as each IETF Area needs
an implementor leader.
