Hi,

I noticed there were some parts of the last IETF meeting (105) that were
sparsely attended. And, the attendees of those meetings tended to be white,
mostly male, and at least middle-aged. There's nothing wrong with that: no
one chooses their age, gender, or skin color.

Although there is value in experience, maybe the IETF should work to hand
off some duties to more diverse younger people.

As a start, I propose identifying some current groups that could be
better-handled by younger and more diverse people. The one I have in mind
is CAPPORT, but I'm not tied to it.

thanks,
Rob
