give everyone who shows up at an IETF meeting one token, good for 6 months.
require 10 tokens to submit an internet-draft.
allow people to give tokens to others - anyone who can convince 10 people that something is worth posting should do it.
encourage people to give their expiring tokens to people they think make sense, so that known-good people can post at any time
anyone who gets an RFC published gets 10 tokens; anyone who gets a standards-track document published gets 20.
for fixing the financial problems, auction off 100 extra tokens per IETF.
of course this is a typical example of a technical solution to a social problem :-)

The speaker in front of me said "charge people a small fee for Internet-Drafts", and someone muttered "charge them by the page".
It's incredibly unrealistic, but don't you really want to charge more for Internet-Drafts on dumb ideas?
