Therefore, I do not understand your proposal. If an I-D is "never read and never discussed", its cost is nil, no? (sending it to a mailing list has no real cost). If an I-D is reviewed by several persons in the WG, one AD, two members of IESG, etc, then, yes, it costs money but such an in-depth review does not happen for random student-published I-D. To summary: what problem do we try to solve? _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
