Re: Should the RFC Editor publish an RFC in less than 2 months?

Alexey:

The latter. If the Auth48 completes before the 60 day appeal timer has expired, then the RFC Editor will hold off on publication until the 60 days have gone by.

P.S. A document that I wrote was the first document to get snagged in this situation. I guess it is only fair.... It got published yesterday.

While we figure out what policy we want, I have asked the RFC Editor to
not publish any IESG approved documents until their appeal timer has
expired.  I also challenged the RFC Editor to move things along so fast
that this matters.  I suspect they can.  Which means that the whole IETF
community needs to help the leadership figure out the appropriate policy
before the rapid processing of Internet-Draft documents into RFCs becomes
the norm.

I would like to ask a clarifying question: does this mean that RFC editors are not going to start editing the document until after 2 months since approval of a document, or does it mean that RFC editors start editing right away, can issue AUTH48 request, but will delay publication until after 2 months?

I think the latter is better, because (a) appeals are not that frequent and (b) AUTH48 usually takes way longer than 2 days ;-).

Alexey

P.S. I apologize in advance for asking the question before reading the whole thread. Maybe it was already asked.
