Yes, every document that goes through IETF-LC is assigned one gen-art reviewer to review the document, but the gen-art review process isn't really a formal part of the IETF document process - it happens in parallel with IETF-LC and the reviews are done on behalf of the General Area director. It would not be possible for us to cover all the docs with more than one reviewer - the team is quite small. The reality (from my experience) seems to be that the only reviews you can count on during IETF-LC are those from gen-art, sec-dir (they follow a similar model as I understand it) and other areas as applicable (e.g., APP, OPS, etc.). Although some of the latter reviews often happen earlier in the process. Each of the reviews from the Gen-ART team are prefaced with a link to a Gen-ART FAQ: http://www.alvestrand.no/ietf/gen/art/gen-art-FAQ.html Regards, Mary Barnes Gen-ART secretary -----Original Message----- From: gen-art-bounces@xxxxxxxx [mailto:gen-art-bounces@xxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ben Campbell Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 9:30 AM To: Tom.Petch Cc: General Area Review Team; ietf@xxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [Gen-art] Gen-ART LC review ofdraft-ietf-isms-transport-security-model-12 On Apr 16, 2009, at 2:29 AM, Tom.Petch wrote: > I am surprised not to have seen more formal reviews of the quartet for > isms I-Ds whose Last Call has just finished, updating as they do a > Standard, while at the same time introducing a Transport subsystem and > model, and also introducing a new (to snmp) way of providing Security. > > I do not know what or how these reviews are triggered but I would have > expected a good deal more than this one and the one that appeared as I > was drafting this response, a round dozen even. Gen-art reviews are assigned to a team of volunteers (i.e. the general area review team.) I'm not sure about the assignment criteria, but I _think_ we try to catch most, if not every, draft being IETF last called for publication. > > > Tom Petch > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ben Campbell" <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <ietf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <dharrington@xxxxxxxxxx>; "General Area > Review Team" > <gen-art@xxxxxxxx> > Cc: <j.schoenwaelder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <ietf@xxxxxxxx> > Sent: Friday, April 10, 2009 10:05 PM > Subject: Gen-ART LC review of draft-ietf-isms-transport-security- > model-12 > > > <snip> > > _______________________________________________ > Gen-art mailing list > Gen-art@xxxxxxxx > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/gen-art _______________________________________________ Gen-art mailing list Gen-art@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/gen-art _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
