I still don't understand what this is supposed to mean in practice.

There have been I-D's that desperately needed the help of a competent
English speaker to rewrite parts where the language was so fractured
that I couldn't figure it out.  In my experience, people with poor
English skills who come to the IETF are doing the best they can, so
this suggests that if you (the general you) see a draft of interest
with language problems, it would be a good idea to offer to edit or
coauthor it.

I don't really any WG sessions being badly impaired by poor speakers
although there have certainly been presentations I wouldn't have been
able to follow if the speaker didn't have slides, and there are plenty
of WGs whose meetings I've never attended.  Is there a concrete
suggestion here?

R's,
John
