I've never attended an IETF meeting. Why? Because it seems to me quite
unlikely to have a chance to say something useful by going there. I mean
useful with respect to a problem that I consider important. That is, not
just a minimal contribution to an already scheduled session that I may happen
to attend. Perhaps, I should request a session...
Problems are often expressed in the form of tentative solutions. Such
solutions may occasionally happen to be discussed, refined, and agreed upon
by a group of individuals. Implementation, standardization, and adoption may
eventually follow --not necessarily in this order. Isn't this how the IRTF
and the IETF should work?
_______________________________________________
If one has a tentative solution that one wants discussed, the usual
technique is to submit an Internet-Draft discussing it and post an
explanatory e-mail in a proper working group list. Consider it a 24x7
poster session!
