I’m concerned about how welcoming this might be to new participants who perhaps have a legitimate problem to be solved that they discover in the operations of a network.  This above text doesn’t reflect a welcoming environment, nor one where perhaps someone has something valuable to contribute in a single area of expertise of operations.

I’m going to bookmark this thread for a reminder next time someone asks me about if the IETF is welcoming to newcomers.
