For better or worse, the IESG apparently does not agree, as evidenced most recently in their response to my appeal about turning a suggestion from the original version of the Checklist into a firm rule without having that explicitly confirmed by the community. We also agree that revising the Checklist into a document that is suitable for use as part of a package of firm rules is a rather different job than updating it while being consistent with its original purpose. So I withdraw my suggestion and comments but strongly suggest that you make sure that your intentions for the document and those of the IESG are in synch before proceeding much further. regards, john _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
