"RFC 3774 2.2.6: Members of this affinity group tend to talk more
freely to each other and former members of the affinity group - this
may be because the affinity group has also come to share a cultural
outlook which matches the dominant cultural ethos of the IETF (North
American, English speaking). Newcomers to the organization and
others outside the affinity group are reluctant to challenge the
apparent authority of the extended affinity group during debates and
consequently influence remains concentrated in a relatively small
group of people.
Quick show of hands: How many people think M. Morfin has been hampered
by a reluctance to challenge the rest of the Working Group?
This reluctance may also be exacerbated if participants come from a
different cultural background than the dominant one."
Which of your objections to the draft are based on your French-speaking,
French-national cultural affiliation, such that they would not be
adequately understood by North Americans or English speakers?
Not everything is discrimination. Consider the possibility that the
objections to your proposals have a technical basis, rather than being
ad-hominem.
