Nice job.
I'd say, however, that this paints a very rosy picture of the IETF.
Maybe that's aspirational. Understanding why one is in the room in the
first place, and why others are in the room is an important success
factor. I think the draft actually does a pretty good job of explaining
why without actually stating it as such ;-)

Hello all,
I have just posted an I-D "Unwritten Rules and Values of the IETF".
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-elkins-ietf-unwritten-rules-values/
I feel that having something like this will be of quite a bit of help
to new people at the IETF, in particular, the mentees in the IETF
mentoring program.
We would very much like to start the discussion and get consensus, if
possible!
In the interests of not clogging up the IETF main list, if you would
like to discuss, please register and comment on the mentoring email
list. Love to have your thoughts!
This is the list for mentoring
discussions: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-mentoring-discuss
The abstract of this I-D is below:
Abstract
The intent of this document is to speed up the process by which
someone new to the IETF, can understand the objectives, fathom the
environment, comprehend the culture, learn to navigate the problems,
overcome the obstacles, and become a more productive IETF participant,
in a shorter amount of time. Further, this document is intended to
pass along the learning and experiences of people who have absorbed
these values, perhaps in a much longer amount of time and with much
greater effort and even hardship.
Thanks,
Nalini Elkins
