I think the Internet Community of Japan and China are important to the IETF, maybe more important challenge to attract them for IETF purposes. I think the reason is that they my not be posting because some replies are discouraging in IETF which means there is another challenge for IETF. I still didn't leave the posting because there are good encouraging people in IETF. Please note that I have been now one year posting and two years before reading, and have a feeling that IETF SHOULD encourage people from China, Japan, Africa, AB My Origins from Africa Internet Community
