Hi Alexa, Please be aware of this document that has just entered a four-week IETF last call. The document describes a proposed IETF process experiment under the rules of RFC 3933. The proposed experiment calls on the IETF Secretariat to take specific actions under certain circumstances in corner cases of the experiment. Could you please have someone in the Secretariat look at the draft and comment on the practicalities of the actions. Note that, at this stage, no changes to the tools are proposed so any actions would require manual intervention (if the experiment were successful and resulted in permanent changes to IETF process we might make changes to the tools at some future time).
