> Quite right. If you're not already involved in some WGs, coming to an IETF meeting is likely to be a waste of your time. The idea is that the experienced IETFer would know these things and help the first-time attendee they are sponsoring to be productive. I don't want to design this on-the-fly in an IETF@ thread, but you could for example add qualifications to what "experienced IETFer" means.
