Seriously - diversity is generally good. I think we all get that.
One of the ironies about this topic in the IETF is that our philosophy of open access to our documents and open participation in our activities is predicated on the belief that real /and unpredictable/ diversity is of benefit to our work.
That anyone would believe in local optimization along one or two specific diversity parameters, such as technical expertise or company affiliation -- rather than seeking diversity along many different axes -- runs counter to that premise.
