Hi John, I think that any small shop (whatever that means) would be put off if they sent someone to an IETF as it appears that it is dominated by the big vendors pushing their own agendas. Given that impression I imagine the small shop has better things to do with its resources. Mark.
While I work for a very large shop now, for most of my career I have worked for small or mid-size shops. Even startups. And all saw value in sending me to IETF meetings.
Yours, Joel
