Hi Melinda, I am already involved, and volunteering work, I done many reviews and comments in two WGs, and will hopfuly continue if people are welcoming. However, I thank you for your comments, AB ====== The mission of the Internet Engineering Task Force is to make the Internet work better by producing high-quality and relevant technical documents that influence the way people design, use, and manage the Internet ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's pretty clear that you'd like to be involved with the work of the IETF in some way. Allow me to suggest that a more productive approach might be to identify a working group in your area of expertise, review their documents, provide feedback on those documents, and write text or new documents to address any gaps. There is work to be done and there are problems to solve. What you are doing now is not helpful. Melinda
