It's dominated by the type of network operator who shows up and participates.

Generally, I hear what you're saying and don't disagree, but this is one of those truisms that applies across the whole 
spectrum of Internet governance: constrained-resource allocation, protocol definition, route and capacity forecasting, 
carrier interconnect, what-have-you.  It's the people who sit back and say that someone else is doing it who don't get 
represented and don't get their way.  So while I absolutely recognize the phenomenon you're describing and wish it were 
otherwise, the solution is action, not complaint.
