The Draft above seems already to be used in some areas to rule a procedure to decrease the AD's working load and to speed up the reviewing process. It gives more importance to the WG Chair's personal opinion, what may have cons and pros. I thought the WG Chair decides of rough consensus and if the WG deliverables are ready in reference to the Charter, the "contract" between the IETF/IESG/IAB community and the WG. Am I wrong or is this changed ?

The word "Charter" is not even used in this Draft. The decisions and comments sent to the IESG are therefore subject to the WG Chair's position and not to the IESG requirements. I suggested the authors the following two additions (tentative text provided). I have not received a response yet while I face a case where this point is important and urgent.

1. The first addition is that the proposed write-ups are presented for quick comments to the WG. 2. two questions more are added, one on the way the Charter has been respected, one on the care given not to favor one technical vision over others (one might refer to RFC 3869). I suppose competition in a WG is not between propositions but for the best user needs support?
