Responding to Glen Zorn's question in plenary: Firstly, not all ADs review all drafts - that's why you will see numerous "no objection" or missing ballot responses. Secondly, the drafts are de facto reviewed by review teams these days (gen-art, security area, etc.). This serves to alert the ADs if a draft really needs careful review. The workload is more reasonable than it used to be. Thirdly, when I was in the IESG, I was surprised quite often by *glaring* errors that had not been picked up before. Somebody has to be responsible for catching these, and today it's the IESG. Fourthly, because of the exact same discussion that Glen raised in plenary, the IESG defined and published its criteria for DISCUSS several years ago. Sometimes there are inappropriate DISCUSSes and those need to be pointed out when they happen. I hear the IESG members responding exactly right to this question. -- Regards Brian Carpenter _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
