There lies the fine line of conflict of interest that I believe the IETF
has done a tremendous job in keeping in control with diverse disciplines
and philosophies well considered. The RFC format by definition, its
style, the open WGs, is all geared towards diverse audiences.

Seriously - diversity is generally good. I think we all get that.
One of the ironies about this topic in the IETF is that our philosophy
of open access to our documents and open participation in our activities
is predicated on the belief that real /and unpredictable/ diversity is
of benefit to our work.
That anyone would believe in local optimization along one or two
specific diversity parameters, such as technical expertise or company
affiliation -- rather than seeking diversity along many different axes
-- runs counter to that premise.
