Ted, Lakshminath, and the Rest of the IETF Community: >I fail to understand why this has to be a guessing game. The handling of reviews by non-IESG members seems to be an important part of this discussion. So, I'll tell everyone how I deal with Gen-ART Reviews. Other General ADs may have done things slightly different. When I use a Gen-ART Review as the basis of a DISCUSS, I put it in one of two categories. (1) The Gen-ART Review was ignored. Like any other Last Call comment, it deserves an answer. So, this is a procedural objection. In this situation, I've been careful to say that the authors do not need to accept all of the comments, but then need to answer them. (2) I agree with one or more concerns raised in the Gen-ART Review that has not been resolved. I often break the unresolved review comments into DISCUSS and COMMENT. AD judgement is needed, and I consider the DISCUSS Criteria in making that judgement.
