Very good point.
Significant advantage comes from any kind of co-authoring with someone who is
able to bring another perspective. By region, by academic/commercial interest,
by vendor/operator role, by amount of time you have been around in the IETF, by
IETF area focus, etc. (Fostering diversity is a lot about adding perspectives,
and getting that right into the author team will allow it to make early impact.)
Now, if you come from a region sparsely populated with IETFers, that may make
co-authoring with people outside your region a particularly good idea.
