That is probably one of the reasons why the IETF (as a formal endorsor of the 

principle of transparency in standards development [1]) goes out of its way to 

make sure that there is adequate advance public notice of proposed standards 

development activities and the scope of work to be undertaken; i.e. so that those 

parties with expertise (and who might be affected) have the opportunity to fully 

engage in the process.
