Hi Nick,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We recently published a blog post outlining some initial work we’ve done looking at IETF participant engagement:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span><a href="https://sodestream.github.io/impact-of-early-engagement-on-longevity-of-ietf-participation.html" target="_blank">https://sodestream.github.io/impact-of-early-engagement-on-longevity-of-ietf-participation.html</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This website also gives some more details about the project.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Stephen</div>

<div>I was following this during the grant application process, but over the past year I've lost track and may have missed some meetings (I think the pandemic has thrown a lot of things off course that were proceeding in early spring 2020) and I don't
know who is working on what or where. (All the URLs on the grant application page point to domains (*.<a href="http://rcuk.ac.uk/" target="_blank">rcuk.ac.uk</a>) that no longer exist.) Happy to chat more in the group call, but if there's anything we can read in
the meantime, that'd be great.</div>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>From discussions that took place at IETF 110 (during the hackathon, Sebastian's</div>
<div>hrpc presentation, and following Nick's plenary plots), it's clear that there is</div>
<div>growing interest in analysing how people participate in the IETF, and the</div>
<div>related impacts on the effectiveness of the organisation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Given that multiple people and groups (i.e., the BigBang team, the sodestream</div>
<div>project [1], and others) are working within this area, I thought that it would</div>
<div>be useful to have a meeting to discuss our various research objectives, with a</div>
<div>view towards identifying potential collaborations.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've created a Doodle poll:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> <a href="https://doodle.com/poll/i725xdu75ps92453" target="_blank">
https://doodle.com/poll/i725xdu75ps92453</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've tried to make the times and dates as friendly as possible across different</div>
<div>timezones, but let me know if these options don't suit.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div><br>
