One of the things that's really popped out in the discussion
on the ericas list is that none of the people posting have
been from vendors/manufacturers, which right now is by far
the largest sector participating in the IETF. The posters
have either been academics or from operators. We can't even
get much participation from operators in North America and
Europe. The industry sector bias in IETF participation is
possibly compounding the regional bias.
