Excuse me? What do you think IETF is or do you really prefer to see
it officially turn into IVTF?
IETF is, or should be, an engineering organization. Not a vanity
press. IETF exists to benefit the entire Internet community, rather
than authors wanting recognition or vendors wanting endorsement for
their products.
Sorry. This was before RFC 3935. The IETF exists to "infuence people
on the way to design use and manage" the Internet. And this is worth gold.
It's more important for IETF to produce good engineering than it
is for anyone to be able to exhaust IETF's resources trying to get
his or her way.
Agreed. The problem is the IANA. A key registry is worth gold too.
Good engineering or not, some interests want to go through.
