I cannot belive that I'm seeing this thread on an IETF list. I run a NOG, and we've been through this many times and we're alread over it. Don't call them 'newbies'. Don't think that having the chairs or whatevers talk to new comers on sunday mornings will make them happy and increase their involvement. It's all about PEER involvement. The attitude that the COMMUNITY has. Do you talk to your friends about IETF? Are you proud of it? Will you encourage your friends to come? Does it make sense to you? Is the community working towards a common goal? Most importantly, are we listening? or are we justing pretending to.
