Unfortunately, where you want to be inserted into the process is when everybody has said their piece 80-dozen times and are tired and just want to get on with life. So it doesn't matter whether you're an operator or the IESG -- you're not going to make many friends at that point telling them they got it wrong. On the other hand, is it really too much to ask operators -- especially big ones with a vested interest in not having the IETF throw crap over the wall for them to debug -- to *hire* a liaison whose job is to monitor a swath of working groups, bofs, etc, and participate the entire way through? I imagine they'd be pretty popular amongst clueful vendors, and would give you a leg up knowing what's good and what's just sales-drek. Mike
