Ray - the idea is that you don't need to - the purpose of the IETF as a
standards development platform is to provide the "opportunity for
participation" and not the "enforced mandatory participation" - after all
the IETF is not a slave march (or is it :-)
(Damn this is scary Harald - I am defending the IETF - what's wrong with
this picture?)...

participate in the
IETF )

Bruce.
There are certainly more than 700 who attend. I don't know if you can
characterize them as all participating.
