Thomas Narten mentioned that: "we have the tendency to pick the people we

about open standards, rough consensus and running code? To know the answer I

Are they really that hard to get to know? A number of them are participating
in this conversation. It's certainly hard to get time to sit with them at IETF
meetings. I don't know what the workload is like for IAB members, but I think
I worked at least an 80 hour week in Orlando.
