Why do you think this would make any difference in practice? chances are that an AD-pair would agree to hold a DISCUSS if either felt that an issue should block publication. >From my point of view, a far greater source of delay is the extraordinarily rapid change in the standards applied to documents by the IESG; it seems that, if your document editor is very busy, by the time a document is reworked to address one set of editorial standards, a new requirement (leading to a new blocking DISCUSS) is likely to appear. seems like we could avoid this sort of logrolling by judging a document based on the rules published and in force at the time it was submitted to the IESG. - Bill _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
