+1. I've written one non-controversial RFC, and this is exactly it. What's missing is if the area you're working in controversial or has many, many stakeholders. For example of this just look at the DMARCbis last call happening now. There apparently is an art form to getting controversial work published by the IETF. It can by garnering a lot of support, but few well meaning voices can sink that effort as well. Working for a big tech company can hamper your efforts as well as some of those well meaning activists don't like big tech. I feel that work sponsored by small and medium sized companies has the best shot of actually happening.
