Alexey, > I am looking for a lightweight process that doesn't introduce as much > delay as a typical WG does. I'm not sure the SG process is what you are looking for. FYI: Depending what you do, you may have different alternatives, too besides creating a BOF, then WG, and completing your document there. Some of the alternatives include - Adding a work item in an existing WG. Rechartering for something that is clearly needed & uncontroversial should not be a big problem. - Some areas have area WGs that process topics, bug fixes, etc. that do not fit in other WGs. - Individual submission process. Submission to the AD, last call on the IETF main list. See http://www.ietf.org/IESG/content/ions/ion-ad-sponsoring.html But if you are just generally unhappy with the speed of WGs, that's a tougher problem to solve. Some of the problems, like lack of author cycles or contentious topics might follow you to whatever process you try to employ. > In particular I am interested in something that might work for > reviewing and building consensus around a well defined piece of work > (typically a document). One use case I have is a document that is not > a product of a WG, but which defines a framework shared by two > existing working groups. Sounds like the individual submission process or an area WG might be more appropriate for this.
