As most RFC authors know, when an IESG member identifies a problem in a draft under IESG review, he or she casts a DISCUSS ballot, with accompanying text, and the DISCUSS has to be cleared before the document can advance. draft-iesg-discuss-criteria-00.txt talks about this. Even within the IESG, we still have one or two points to resolve, but we wanted to get this out before the cutoff date. This isn't in any way intended to change any of the principles of the standards process, but we'd welcome community comment. Brian Internet-Drafts@xxxxxxxx wrote:
