[your turn!]
Being an IETF doofus myself, I may be misremembering, but I thought that
the IAB had to approve any protocol proposal before it was designated as a
standard. And the IAB is not a popularly elected body, but a
self-appointed one. (Were it not so late, I'd check that out before making
such an outrageous allegation.) It was the original model for ICANN until
the People demanded inclusion of the unwashed At-large Membership. Am I
way off that mark?
