Scale and juggle the figures as you like, this is not a
zero-risk experiment.
You know nothing about marketing budgets.
to me more succint and less terse.
PMO or whatever it's called in given organzation is a different pool of
money. whether it gets spent at the ietf or not has little or nothing to
do with whether R&D dollars are spent on standards activity.
if there are potential customers at the ietf or reach to customers
through the ietf PMO is potentially interested. if not they aren't.
