I agree that the focus should be on the waf functionality and selection criteria rather than other product categories.

I agree with this as well.  I'd rather not complicate the situation.  It's hard enough to select and differentiate a WAF, let alone to go into the ecosystem a WAF lives in.  (and this is coming from a load balancing vendor!)

The best thing we can do for WAFEC, imho, is to keep it as simple as possible, to describe the various capabilities of WAFs (security and visibility) and let the customer decide which deployment mode to use.  (That said, I'm happy to describe theoretical deployment modes - integrated to load balancer, inline, proxy, span port, integrated to server, etc, since they DO differentiate.)

... I think they are too close to the
business of the WAF vendor.

Please don't get me wrong: my objections are not according WAF vendors, but according Load Balancer and such.
It's not about keeping vendor biases off from the discussion, they are valuable please give us your opinions, but it's about focusing on WAFs.
