I talked quite a bit with a well-known distributed ledger project that was looking for a governance structure, and ultimately they decided that they didn't want to surrender change control or IPR to the IETF, which is reasonable. However, there are a number of other reasons why someone might not want to publish with us, whether it's that we're just plain slow, that our culture is harsher than other technical communities, or a number of other factors. I'd like to think that it's possible that these are problems that can be remedied but I suspect that a good place to start would be with looking at how we're structured rather taking on yet another ocean-boiling exercise.
