Title : ICAR Proposed EArly Review (PEAR)
Author(s) : D. Partain
Filename : draft-partain-icar-pear-00.txt
Pages : 11
Date : 2004-5-25
This memo proposes a lightweight and incremental approach to
improving early cross-area review in the IETF. This proposal has two
specific goals. Firstly, the current perception is that the IETF
standardization process is bogged down and takes far too long. One
factor in this slowness appears to be the workload placed upon the
IESG when documents are brought to them. Given that one role of the
IESG has been to provide cross-area review, offloading some portion
of that work may increase the speed of the process. Secondly,
cross-area review done early in the process may be a good tool for
identifying significant problems with a Working Group's efforts long
before the documents reach the IESG. As such, the early cross-area
review can improve the quality of the output from the Working Group
by sifting the wheat from the chaff.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-partain-icar-pear-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
