As one example, the gaia wg had some really interesting speakers from
poorer parts of the world that got there somehow, when it was first
formed. How did that happen? Is it still happening?
The "Global Access to the Internet for All" is an IETF Research Group
which was formed in 2014. One of its objectives is "to develop a
longer term perspective on the impact of GAIA research group findings
on the standardisation efforts at the IETF". The Research Group
published one RFC about three years ago. It is likely that it does
not have much impact on standardization efforts given that the only
output of the Research Group is about taxonomy.
There was a report to the IAB about people coming to the Research
Group to get more visibility for their own work. The longer term
perspective does not look optimistic if the focus is mainly about visibility.
