I'm not hard-pressed to do this at all.  In fact I find it quite easy,
because I don't care who the authors work for.  

IMHO, we should base not publication decisions on the authors' employers.
We should base them on technical merit.

The trade press is quite good at fawning over vendors' products;
I don't think IETF needs to take on that role.
