I wonder if we as a community are asking the wrong question in this discussion.
It seems to me that there is a very large value in having a clear
document that the IESG says documents what they will do.
I personally am much more interested in having a document that serves
that function, even if I don't like the criteria listed.
If we can get to the point where we have that, then I think it makes
sense to have a discussion about what changes the community would
like to see in the IESG procedures.
Is draft-iesg-discuss-criteria-02.txt a statement from the IESG of
what it is doing?
If not, what is it?
If it is, what I would ask first is that the IESG commit to updating
this whenever they change the procedures. (I don't care if it is
kept as a perpetual I-D, with a pointer so people know it has
meaning, or a web page, or an ION, or what.)
Then, once we know that, we can have a useful debate on what changes
we would like to see in what the IESG does.
Yours,
Joel M. Halpern
