I think you will see that this question was discussed at least once. We asked about moving to a one-level maturity model instead. The conclusion was that it was possible to go from a two-level to a one-level in the future if that is appropriate. However, if we go straight to a one-level now, and then learn that a two-level would have been better, we would be stuck.

It could have removed two levels instead of one, but would that have made it easier or harder to find consensus for the change? _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
