What about drafts that not for discussion at a session? What about drafts that
have completed last call or are in IESG processing?
I did not verify the state of the drafts for above when I listed the
working groups. I listed a working group which did not have any
session. I know that one of the working groups in the list has
documents going through IESG processing. If you ask me whether the
list is a good representation of the text I quoted, my answer would be no.
There are three meetings slots in a year. If a group misses that
slot it losses the opportunity for three months of work (assuming
that there is discussion on the mailing list). People are free to
object to object about the process not being followed to the letter
or about arbitrary decisions of the chair. If I was a WG Chair and
somebody asked why the work is being delayed or the working group is
doing nothing I would point to the objection. What I won't say is
whether people who will be implementing the work or who are actually
going to review the work will walk away.
