Forgive me if I am saying something you already understand, but the way that 
you do work in the IETF is to find other IETF participants who are interested 
in the same topic that you are interested in, demonstrate to the IETF as a 
whole that there is sufficient interest in the work to justify the IETF 
allocating agenda time for it, and then those people meet and discuss the topic 
and write documents based on those discussions.

It's really not the case that you can just come to the IETF with a document and 
get it published.   That's not how the IETF process works.

So when you say that the issue is personal, that simply isn't correct.   The 
issue is that you haven't done the work you need to do.   If you can't get 
anybody interested in what you are interested in, that means that the work 
can't be done in the IETF.   It isn't personal.   This happens a lot.   There 
are things I'd like to work on for which there is no interest in the IETF, and 
I have some very clear ideas about how to do other things that the IETF is 
working on, but I don't get my way: the working group doesn't agree with me, 
and so we produce something that's different than what I would have done.

What we hope happens as a result of this is that what is produced is better; 
that's not even always the case.   But we are successful often enough that many 
of us still consider it to be worth the effort.

If you are not willing to follow this process, then what you have discovered is 
that you do not consider it to be worth the effort.
