Lloyd,

That the photo was meant to be funny? (I'm in it).

In a San Diego IETF video the interviewed person weared an artificial
long white beard (in his early thirties at the time).

That was funny as well.

Cheers, Andy

The specification was as follows:

"If your beard is white, gray, flecked with gray or on the brink of
graying, your presence is requested.  No minimum length
requirement.  Honorary graybeards welcome (those with a valid
biological reason for NOT growing a prodigious gray beard, but
otherwise qualified)"

Harald and Dan don't have grey beards in that picture, so that
can't be it.

As there is photographic evidence of graybeards and it is
compliant with the specification, it must be true that it is the
sort of council of elders for the internet.
