It's dominated by the type of network operator who shows up and participates. Generally, I hear what you're saying and don't disagree, but this is one of those truisms that applies across the whole spectrum of Internet governance: constrained-resource allocation, protocol definition, route and capacity forecasting, carrier interconnect, what-have-you. It's the people who sit back and say that someone else is doing it who don't get represented and don't get their way. So while I absolutely recognize the phenomenon you're describing and wish it were otherwise, the solution is action, not complaint. -Bill -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAk1NlDkACgkQGvQy4xTRsBF6KACfe+xqvrt8ikLIJme99rLYT1OZ tQYAoJ+VsUMsui5W6ss++aOXOPEqqoRh =Cruc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
