I don't know the this is a 'call to action' kind of document -- it's more explaining the landscape and particular consequence s of it. Beyond the 'what can standards do' section, I'm not sure there is a "next".

More specifically -- what do you think the CtA should be?

Here are a few possibilities from which to choose:
- When developing a protocol, ask these questions (and then some questions {think checklist})
- The community, the including {IAB, IRTF, others}, is invited to consider this matter in more depth, especially in regards to (specific technologies that might help avoid concentration)
- Further measurements of the risk of centralization a'la [cite Aqsa's wonderful ANRP paper] are invited..
But don't forget to summarize well what you said first ;-)

By the way, those are only suggestions. You should be comfortable with whatever approach you would like to take.

I'm not really on board with those --
- a checklist is going to be incredibly difficult to create for every internet protocol - by nature, much of this is specific to the market/environment the protocol operates within
- I don't know that a call for specific tech to avoid concentration is really realistic; if it emerges that's great but hope is not...
- I'm less than enthusiastic about measurement activities, because it's not really clear how they're actionable, or often even if the metric is appropriate

That's ok! But there must be something you want the community to do, even if it's just considering the document as they're developing specifications. Anyway, my suggestion is that you consider this as you're developing the rest of doc.

I think what I want the community to do is captured (imperfectly) in 'what can standard efforts do?'
Is there something I can do to make it clearer?
