>>Companies, whether they're based the United States or
otherwise, don't participate in IETF working groups. Individuals
do. Those individuals cannot be assumed to represent the
companies they work for, and at any rate, IETF doesn't recognize
such representation.<<
You are playing ostrich here.
Whether you like it or not, and whether you want to believe it or not,
these individual contributors to the IETF and its proceedings DO
REPRESENT their companies and the best interests of their companies,
AND NOT NECESSARILY THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE INTERNATIONAL USER
COMMUNITY.
