Tell me what the IETF could be doing that it isn't already doing.
I'm not talking about what implementors and operators and users should
be doing; still less about what legislators should or shouldn't be
doing. I care about all those things, but the question here is what
standards or informational outputs from the IETF are needed, in addition
to what's already done or in the works.
I don't intend that to be a rhetorical question.
