by Phil Almquist made to the Internet Drafts.
5. POSITION: Last Calls will must be approved by the relevant Area Director before being sent to the IETF mailing list.
6. There was extentsive discussion on technical review of documents
prior to IESG submission. Concerned was raised on the amount of time
needed to do this for every submission and that this may be considered
a change to formal process which may need ietf buy-in. Another concern
raised was that the process added a bureaucratic step that may not
accomplish anything. One suggestion was that a checklist of steps would
be helpful.
A related topic discussed was whether the checklist review be done by
the Area Director, an outside group, or the WG chair? ADs should insure
that a senior-level architect-type person be involved with WG efforts
where necessary (WG may already have such a person involved or chairing
the WG. Make sure WG knows there will be a review, and if there is a
need for assistance, the WG can request help from the AD or experts.
It was decided that the WG Chair should write the overview, technical
summary and WG Deliberation items as listed in a message from Phill,
and have a "reviewer" perform, at option of AD (or IESG?) technical
assessment and document quality review.
ACTION: Coya to rewrite Phill's message, distribute to IESG for review
and edits. When final, submit to others (IAB, WGChairs). When "really"
final, send to IETF list.
POSITION: All IESG Areas MUST have advisory groups to facilitate better
tracking of working group efforts and timely protocol review. Note that
this is a rewording of the previous position which used the word SHOULD
instead of MUST.
Action: All area advisory groups must be formed by IETF in November.
