As a matter of fact, I did not blame the IETF for anything. I simply pointed
out that one person suggested two metrics on which the success of the
"IETF model" could be evaluated in a more objective manner than simply
saying "I've been in organisation X for Y number of years and I think it
is better than organisation Z".

However, let me point out that although the IETF may not have a "monopoly"
in solving these and/or similar problems, its supporters do tend to present
it as the best option for Internet-related standards-setting and, therefore,
one may infer that other options should not be pursued.

Best,

Andrea
