Dave> Stephane, Dave> Your view of the role of IETF Last Call does not match my Dave> reading of RFC 2418, "IETF Working Group Guidelines and Dave> Procedure": It seems quite clear to me that RFC 2418 does not apply at all to the output of an RG. From a process and consensus building standpoint, this last call needs to be treated the same as an individual submission, not WG output. RGs are not required to maintain the level of openness, minutes, etc that WGs do. Thus, they don't get the presumption of consensus that a WG does and the comments in 2418 about last calls do not apply. Even if a particular RG is open, it's still not a WG; just as we would expect input from an external organization to be treated through the individual process regardless of the openness of that organization, we should do the same for IRTF output. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
