I didn't mean to make a complete new proposal, it is just the idea then with the IETF it can be completed.

Khaled,

I originally drafted the material at https://www.ietf.org/newcomers.html .
Now I realise that there is one important topic missing in the section
"How to Start", something like this:

Experience shows that starting your participation in the IETF with
a complete new protocol proposal is rarely a recipe for success. With
Internet protocols being up to 40 years old, the Internet as a system
being highly complex, and operational practices being extremely diverse,
it is very unlikely that an ambitious new proposal will fit in just
like that. A more successful technique is to join an existing IETF
activity, suggesting improvements and learning from the experience,
before making ambitious proposals.

(Or to say it more simply: serve an IETF apprenticeship first. We
all did that.)
