I think it's unfair to call people who do that "process wonks" or any
other derogatory term. Most of them are people who want to know who is
speaking. Some of them are people who assume the rest of the room want
to know who is speaking, probably don't, and probably don't feel
comfortable speaking up and saying so.

According to wikipedia, a policy wonk is
someone knowledgeable about and fascinated by details of government policy and
programs
If that is derogatory then I'm sorry.
IMO it is accurate to say there are many people in
the IETF that fit this description.
