It would also help a lot not to discourage people that are willing to
volunteer. If what you want is your name on a RFC, then the IETF is the
place to be. If you want to develop a protocol, I highly recommend a
mailing list outside of the IETF, where work technical work can be
accomplished without being blocked by politics and incompetent
leadership.

for example it is interesting to watch how working group dynamics

change when an area director indicates an intent to shut down a
non-performing effort.
In other words, taking milestones seriously and, therefore, taking
appropriate action when they are not met, would be interesting to
consider.
