I don't think I should follow the IETF culture to make my I-D adopted by WG, but I may follow the good/technical reasons the WG provide. We need to follow the technology/region/users needs for the Internet purposes. The Internet is a global network that is present in all regions, each region may have different needs and similar needs. So if my document was not adopted by WGs, then there SHOULD be a good technical reason (not that I did not follow cultures). I think that IETF follows up with the Internet developers, users and participants (within South America and others). AB
