Thanks Fernando,
I would add to this document something about inertia, backwards
compatibility and existing dysfunction.
Could you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by each of these?
And, if you could provide examples, and any suggestions on what might be
done to fix or improve the issue, that would also be nice.

... all that to say. One of the biggest barriers to entry in the IETF
is stumbling across an area in which no work is able to progress due to
entrenched issues within that area.
Agree on this one.
And I'm not arguing for "no barriers to entry", because there needs to
be a sanity check that we're actually producing high quality
specifications, and that our specifications are compatible with each
other so the entirety of the IETF's work product is a coherent whole.
But it's hard to get started if you don't already have the connections
to have your work sponsored by somebody who already knows their way
around the IETF's idiosyncrasies.
Also agree on this one.
Thanks!
