As far as I can tell, these questions treat as facts some
assumptions
which I consider not to be the case at all.
I do not know of an "IETF's qualification
process" or "IETF's
Standard's Protocol's" or "IETF's Approved
Badge". As far as I know,
we have never tried to create any of those things.
Therefore, a
question about how someone interacts with those things does
not seem
meaningful.
