Abstract:
The process of producing today's Internet through a culture of open
participation and diverse collaboration has proved strikingly
efficient and effective, and it is distinctive among standards
organizations. Historically participation in the IETF and its
antecedent was almost entirely composed of well-funded, American,
white, male engineers, establishing a distinctive and challenging
group dynamic, both in management and in personal interactions. In
the case of the IETF, interaction style can often demonstrate
singularly aggressive behavior, often including singularly hostile
tone and content. Groups with greater diversity make better
decisions. Obtaining meaningful diversity requires more than generic
good will and statements of principle. Many different behaviors can
serve to reduce participant diversity or participation diversity.
This paper discusses the nature and practicalities of IETF attention
to its diverse participation and to the requirement for professional
demeanor.
