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.
