Ain't that the truth. I didn't go to meetings for some number of years and when I started going again I saw a *lot* of new faces, not all of whom are young. It seems to me that a static participant base would clearly be more of an issue than age, per se. There's pretty clearly some churn, whether it's because of an influx of people from a new (to the IETF) geographic area, or because of an influx of people wanting to work on a new (to the IETF) problem area, and that's a very, very, very good thing.
