Title : Procedures for Review and Approval of IETF Standards-Track Documents
Author(s) : J. Klensin
Filename : draft-klensin-stds-review-panel-00.txt
Pages : 21
Date : 2005-7-12
Somewhat over a decade ago, the IETF responded to a series of
perceived problems with the then-IAB by restructuring the way in
which the IAB and IESG were constituted and assigning all standards-
approval and closely-related processes to the IESG. In retrospect,
that decision has had serious downsides: among them are the
observations that the IESG has become overloaded to the point that
the role requires an unreasonable level of investment and that the
intertwining of managing WGs and then reviewing and approving their
products has led to confusion and the risk, and sometimes the
appearance, of inherent conflicts of interest and abuses. This
document proposes to re-separate the ^steering^ and ^WG management^
functions that were orginally the IESG's responsibility from the
^final review and standards approval^ roles and respecifies the
standards approval process in that context.
The general concepts outlined in this document have been discussed
informally in the community for some time. This document is provided
as a specific proposal to facilitate a focused discussion.

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.
