direction. A workshop/program
driven by the IAB could bring in external stakeholders and a wider
diversity of viewpoints - particularly from
people for whom English is not the primary language but either
participate in the IETF to a limited extent or
would like to participate in the IETF more. Some terms used in
English and considered inappropriate in
English as used in the USA are used in other languages and do not
carry the same connotations.
A draft that brings up the issue of translations:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-attoumani-ietf-inclusion/
This also of course has cost implications, even organizations such
as the ITU and the UN have a limit to what
they can support.
The better party to discuss an IAB workshop with would be IAB members
as they have first-hand experience. There is a contact address on
the IAB web site.
If I am not mistaken, the draft which you mentioned above is being
discussed in GENDISPATCH (it's an IETF working group).
I have not attended workshops, conferences, etc. where language is
the main topic of discussion. There are other topics which requires
a lot of reading and that takes up my time. As an example, I read
RFC 5378 again over the past weekend. I also read two or three other
RFCs which are related to a protocol.

S. Moonesamy
