My understanding was that a major reason NEWTRK could not reach consensus was
that it realized that no proposal could attain IESG consensus and IETF
consensus at the same time because:
a) IESG people didn't have cycles to engage with the community.
b) the people selected for the IESG (and who were successful) were the
people who could operate well with the current rules.
That is, the IESG suffered from a variation of the Innovator's Dilema.
I think that a decade later things are mostly the same, but I think that
the IESG members are generally much more self-aware about the need to
reduce their I* workload so that they can engage in other things.
