Something quite basic that is missing from the draft on Discuss Criteria is a requirement that any Discuss not only explain its precise normative basis, but that it give a clear statement of what actions must be taken to clear the Discuss.
I strongly disagree. When a working group document fails to meet RFC 2026 criteria for the intended status, it's not up to the AD voting Discuss to fix the problem. The burden is on the WG to either convince the IESG that its document does indeed meet RFC 2026 criteria, or to bring the document in line with RFC 2026.
While there is nothing wrong with an AD suggesting a simple fix to a document problem if he or she can identify one, expecting the AD to fix nontrivial problems is unrealistic and also encourages micromanagement.
