Thinking out loud:
o the IETF is primarily an organization of volunteer participants
o in lieu of other forms of compensation, participation is often rewarded
  primarily by acknowledgment/recognition
o IETF has some name recognition value
o many organizations support "design competition" events
o web designers, particularly those who have done work for similar
  organizations, may be a good source of critiques of the current site
  and suggestions for improvements 
o I wonder what reaction would be to an IETF web site design competition
  where the winner would get an acknowledgment on the site and bragging
  rights to be able to claim "designed the IETF's primary web site"...
