I read both this post and yours- I didn’t see anything inflammatory and your company seems orthogonally related at best.
If anything this comes across poorly for the IETF, while I understand the main point (they identify marketing/updates as a weakness) it feels like a personal rant against you.
- tptacek 5y agoThe IETF is mostly run on mailing lists, and those mailing lists are public, so it's tough to attribute a bad take on one to the whole "organization".
- tialaramex 5y agoEven more so, there is no organization. The IETF is an activity, like dancing, which humans can participate in or not as they please. You can't "join", there's nobody "in charge" and it can't believe anything.
- tptacek 5y agoI knew I was setting someone up to say this. :) It's true, mostly, but it's worth knowing that different IETF working groups are, in fact, organized groups, with a set process and all the path dependency you get from any planned human enterprise. There are stakeholders in those groups that have greater and lesser influence.
- unmole 5y ago> You can't "join", there's nobody "in charge" That's not entirely true. Working Group Chairs and Area Directors have significant say in what is adopted.
