A
My
first
time
in
my
ATF
I
had
an
associate
of
mine
that
really
encouraged
me
to
come
down
to
the
IETF
and
it
was
in
LA
and
I
can
really
only
afford
with
my
current
funding
level
to
go
for
one
day
and
he
sat
next
to
me
and
he
told
me
to
get
up
to
the
microphone
state.
You
know
my
interoperability
rapport
and
you
know,
get
to
know.
People
and
I
did
that
it
was
hard.
It
was
a
huge
room.
This
was
a
very
contentious
meeting.
A
I
gotta
get
me
in
her
operability
report
and
I
got
a
lot
of
thank
yous
afterwards,
and
it
really,
you
know,
led
me
to
get
more
engaged,
so
my
advice
to
most
people
would
be
go
out.
Make
contacts,
do
you
know,
offer
your
opinion,
hear
advice,
there's
no
bad
opinion.
Sometimes
you
know
people
love
it
and
sometimes
they
don't
but
but
always
offer
your
advice,
but
maybe
somebody
else
hadn't
thought
about
that
and,
to
be
honest
in
my
very
first
IETF
I
met
a
lot
of
new
people,
including
my
current
direct
manager,
so
I.
