It would also help a lot not to discourage people that are willing to volunteer. If what you want is your name on a RFC, then the IETF is the place to be. If you want to develop a protocol, I highly recommend a mailing list outside of the IETF, where work technical work can be accomplished without being blocked by politics and incompetent leadership.
