- 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.
