May be not to change the principle (open to all) but the 
practicalities. I would think advisable that posting on the IETF 
lists be submitted to a blog like page in order to check the reality 
of the person, his background/visions and his professional/commercial 
involvements. I suppose these would help a lot the WG work as people 
could explain their positions, refer to them and adapt as the WG work 
progress.
