As the scope of the work in IETF increases, I expect that there are
more and more people like myself who are drawn in for some aspect of
the work, rather than a broad interest in internet.
And what this means is that there are more and more people in IETF
who are not aware of the broader impact of their work on other
Internet areas. So we have more and more groups working at cross-
purposes to one another.
Travel budgets are the least of our problems. What we really need
to do is stop using narrowly focused WGs as a method of avoiding
discussions between parties that have conflicting interests.
