So, here's my promise to you. I'll track down McGregor, and we'll write something up. I will work on moving my Proposed Standards, assuming that the IESG is actually _interested_ in doing its job. The proof will be in the pudding. In earlier times, I expected to go from internet-draft to Proposed Standard in 2 IETF meetings, and to Full Standard in under 1 year on average, 2 years for extremely controversial items.
Did you ever get what you expected....?
Yes, certainly. And when I didn't, I helped lead the effort to reform the structure of the IETF.... That worked for a couple more years. (Without reorganization, we couldn't even have a IPSec WG. Steve Kent prevented it.)
The reason why I was asking was that I've heard statements that "we were much faster before" a number of times, while I've also heard lots of stories of things that took years to accomplish "before".
So I'd rather ask again, explicitly:
- Which standards did you push from first I-D to PS in 2 IETF meetings?
- Which standards (apart from the ones that were "born that way") reached Full Standard 1 year after going to PS?
At least we'd have a common understanding of the term "before"...
