ISOC is doing a great job with the fellowship program. There is just a
few people each meeting but it is a good start.
Now, we need to figure out how to bring more people and prepare them to
write RFCs and being leaders.
Not easy at all as Keith said.

but also we shouldn't focus on the nomcom process, the problem is not
about how we select people (it may help but it is not the root problem).
The problem is to bring new people (younger people, women, from more
countries, different languages, etc.) to write RFCs, to participate/be
interested in the IETF and how we involve/prepare these people to become
our leaders and not just participants. If we do that, then we will have
more diversity in our leadership.
Agree. And I suspect that a large part of the answer is "make effective
participation in IETF substantially less expensive than it is now"
(I didn't say it was an easy problem to solve.)

Arturo and Keith,
Thank you both for these thoughts.
I've self-funded a couple of IETF meetings, but still think primarily
about "expensive" in terms of time.
