We check WG consensus at WGLC, and IETF consensus at IETF last call.
Last Call is far too late to fix most problems that crop up. I don't
like throwing out people's hard work, but we need better ways of making
sure that WGs produce output that really is technically sound and
respectful of a broad spectrum of interest. LC is necessary but
insufficient to do this.
There are three significant discussion opportunities before IETF last
call: adopting the charter of the working group; working group adoption
of a draft; and, working group last call of a draft. The charter
discussions are already very public, and I assume that someone
interested in the subject could contribute, and also decide to join the
WG mailing list if interested.
I suppose we could somehow broadcast adoption calls and WG last calls to
the IETF -- with a caveat that any discussion should be inside the
working group. Discuss?
