Isn't it the role of the IRTF/IAB/? to look at which areas should the
IETF put more effort into?

Is there some kind of vision, road map, looking forward?

A wish list, which would stay as a wish list pending people willingness
to work on the items.

I think there is a need to analyse orientations, like bringing an
outsider to speak to IETF to raise new issues, like at last IETF with
power and computing and the fact that wakeonlan does not work and would
be real useful: how much intelligence to put in the card to wake up the
PC only when needed and not every time someone send a packet to the card.

Cheers
