Dear Fred,
you formulated this with real majesty. Good. IETF is a wise
men pow wow where users are represented by vendors and
its favorite matter is datagram internet scalability.

This puts free softwares and new generation networks out of
its scope. They are Research from what I understand. Why not?

Would then the question not be to define the IAB Mission?
Should not someone take care of modelization and innovation?

   wisdom on what can be built and made to work in their products, and
   may bring customer or market issues whose owners cannot or will not
   bring themselves.

   The intended goal is well characterized as 'community memory' -
   written observations and wisdom as well as protocols and operational
   procedures defined - to enable the datagram internet to scalably
   deliver relevant services in transit and edge networks."
