Any I-D author MUST be part of IETF otherwise what is IETF then, how
do we define it? I think we should not make simple facts complicated.
The most important part of IETF is the participant that does volunteer
his work effort and time for the IETF. However I assume you agree with
me because you mentioned "might".

No sir - the IETF is a GSO meaning it must be transparent. Otherwise it
is a simple fraternal organization and it should not be allowed to stand
as a GSO because of its refusal to be open and transparent.
As to the need for an open standards process as an alternative
method... everything you cite above is the reason that is so necessary.
