I agree that the main point here is to capture the principle that the various streams should not be shooting at each others' feet. Brian Leslie Daigle wrote:
I agree that the principle of avoiding interference is a general one that could be captured in this document. And I think this document had better be consistent in its application of principles. I will observe that as the documents are currently structured, the definitions of the individual streams discuss the details of handling those (inter)dependencies. Therefore, I believe your last sentence belongs as a comment on independent@xxxxxxxx and specifically on the document draft-klensin-rfc-independent . If this document is to capture *all* the "specifically"s of document stream interdependence, we will also have to capture the expectation that the IETF stream will not interfere with the IAB stream, and so on. I don't think that's effectively achievable or even maintainable in this document. Leslie. Brian E Carpenter wrote:Although I'm an IAB member, I'd rather make my one comment on this draft in public. I think it misses one point that should be mentioned. The easiest way to explain it is to suggest new text: 4.4. Avoiding interference between publication streams Although diversity of views and alternative solutions are common and will commonly be published, it would be highly undesirable for documents published in the different streams to interfere actively with each other, for example by specifying incompatible extensions to the same protocol or alternative uses for the same parameter value. For this reason, the procedures adopted for the four streams will include appropriate checks and balances to avoid such interference. Specifically, this will include a procedure (currently documented in [RFC3932]) to avoid Independent Submissions actively interfering with IETF Documents.
