Dear IESG,
I'm glad that you are considering this experiment. We certainly heard from
people who expressed discomfort with the current BCP procedures in this area
during recent discussions, and I don't know that very many people were
thrilled with those procedures (especially after we started noticing gaps in
the BCP coverage).
I do have one procedural comment here.
I agree that IESG can conduct experiments of more than 18 months duration
under BCP 93, but the specific procedural problem here isn't about an
experiment that needs to run for 18 months, it's about an experiment that
may not start for several months (because the IESG needs to receive a
suspension request in order to start the experiment).
Could I suggest that the IESG (perhaps "also") say "the clock on this
experiment doesn't start until we actually receive a suspension request"?
The goal of the "sunset" language was to prevent an experiment from running
forever, not to run a clock while nothing is being experimented with.
Thanks,
Spencer, who would be thrilled if this experiment never started because no
one needed to be suspended ...
The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider
the
following document:
- 'Experimental Procedure for Long Term Suspensions from Mailing Lists '
<draft-hartman-mailinglist-experiment-01.txt> as an Experimental RFC
NOTE: This is a Last Call under RFC 3933 (BCP 93). If the IESG approves
this document, it will become an experimental IETF process document for
a period of 18 months.
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send any comments to the
iesg@xxxxxxxx or ietf@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2006-03-15.
