I think the process has proved to be rather resistant to packing of

of its weight or lack thereof.


        all of those activites indicate particpation to me.
        could you please clarify "non-participant" in the
context of someone making a contribution (pro or con, independently or in concert with others).

Contributing technical input to the discussion of a technical
proposal.


        perhaps you have in mind "card-carrying" IETF members
        who pay their dues and send their employees to meetings?

No.
