(as an individual) IMO this seems to establish a problematic
precedent to setup a boycott website about the IETF - which seems it
can only serve to harm the reputation of the IETF. We have community
feedback mechanisms and so far, it appears they are working
perfectly well - starting with a lot of comments at the mic line in
the 122 plenary and emails on the mailing list. I might expect a
'boycott' sort of thing if stakeholders felt ignored or stymied, but
that seems far from the case here.
I would agree that the (email-based) community mechanism is working
well if there was some interaction. It is also possible to take a
corporate approach where the decision-makers read the emails and
remain silent. That is usually followed by a corporate empathy statement.
You mentioned "harm to reputation of the IETF". Does that mean that
there could be a decrease in sponsorship revenue (the current
estimate is $1,625,000)?
