Hi, Jared,

If you have concerns feel free to email them to the IAB or I'd be happy to schedule time with you with IAB hat on to discuss them.I will point out it was in the IAB minutes here:
I'm not sure if this was the set of meeting minutes you meant to point to (I'm not seeing a helpful mention of "survey", just by searching for the character string), but more broadly, I understand this survey, coming from the IAB, to be squarely within the IAB's chartered responsibilities from https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2850.html#section-2:
(c) Standards Process Oversight and Appeal The IAB provides oversight of the process used to create Internet Standards [BCP 9]. The IAB serves as an appeal board for complaints of improper execution of the standards process, with powers defined in [BCP 9].
I'd have to say, as a former IAB member, I'm kind of pleased to see that the IAB was taking this action (this chartered responsibility was mostly about appeals in 2010-2013, when I was serving), but I understand why Tom might have been startled! I tend to respond to IETF surveys from Jay automatically, and wasn't thinking that it might be part of the IAB's oversight responsibility (the usual post-IETF surveys were usually discussed by the IESG when I was serving there).
So, to the IAB, good job, and we're all (more) awake now!
I just filled out the survey, and it seemed reasonable. I do wish there had been one or more places to provide explanations, which I remember is usually true for the post-IETF surveys. I assume something like this survey will be sent out again, if it turns out to be helpful, so that can be added next time.
Sent from my TI-99/4a
This is the best signature line I've seen in email for a while ... I always enjoy Warren Kumari's, but we don't chat as much as we used to chat. 😀
Best,
Spencer
