re draft-iesg-discuss-criteria-00.txt I think this is a very helpful document - if followed by the IESG it should reduce the number of what appears to be blocking actions by ADs but I did not see any enforcement mechanism - i.e. if an AD enters a DISCUSS over a section 3.2 reason how does the IESG tell that AD to back off? It seems like the alternate voting process is not needed to have the IESG look at a DISCUSS comments and reach a consensus that it is not (or is) a legit DISCUSS area maybe somthing like a 'review of comment' process that gets kicked off by another AD or a WG chair after an AD files their DISCUSS comment. The process just involving a requirement for all ADs to review the comment in question and discuss the issue on the next IESG call ending in a vote - if there is not majority support that the comment is a blocking type then the DISCUSS is changed to a non-blocking comment Scott _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
