I suspect that the often-subtle differences in technical perception on IETF
technologies between sexes, races, and languages are much less pronounced than
the substantial differences in technical orientation between vendors, ISPs,
academics, governments, and end users. If we are consistently seeing
individuals from the same corporation or governmental entity dominating
processes then that is a Red Flag. Do we have a Red Flag? If not, then I will
resume hoping that this email thread will end soon.
