During the early years of the IETF and its > antecedent, participation was almost entirely composed of a small > group of well-funded, American, white, male technicians, > demonstrating a distinctive and challenging group dynamic, both in > management and in personal interactions. In the case of the IETF, > interaction style can often contain singularly aggressive behavior, > often including singularly hostile tone and content. Groups with > greater diversity make better decisions. Obtaining meaningful > diversity requires more than generic good will and statements of > principle. Many different behaviors can serve to reduce participant > diversity or participation diversity. This document discusses IETF > participation in terms of the nature of diversity and practical > issues that can increase or decrease it.
