Do governments have an equal say in the IETF? I always presumed it was 
heavily biassed towards people who could demonstrate a working knowledge 
of the technology.

That's not a criticism of governments, but they might have aspirations 
which they can't necessarily present in the form of "running code" 
(because they are lawyers and not programmers).
