The "incentive" that something like SIRS offered was classification as a senior contributor. This was neither a small point nor a small benefit (IMO).

what was the benefit of becoming a senior contributor?

Idealistic answer: The personal satisfaction of meaningful contribution. (There is a rumor that active IETF participants are highly motivated by this goal. So, the incentive is provide explicit satisfaction of it beyond their
narrow areas of primary activity.)

Selfish: Public recognition. (Good for both one's ego and potentially one's
employment status.)


ok, may make sense

how would this differ from the "technical advisor" title?

ps. The ideal and the selfish are complementary and not at all negative, IMO. But, then, I believe all idealism is driven by a form of self-satisfaction...
