Hi there,
So, I have an etiquette question[0].
When a draft comes up for IETF LC, you get the standard:
"The IESG has received a request from the Funny Orange Orangutang WG (foo) to
consider the following document: 'Orangutans Considered Harmful" <draft-ietf-foo-dangerous-orangutangs-04.txt>
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 1970-01-01."
So, if I have issues with the draft, I know to send them to the list -- but what if I simply want to show support?
Normally I figure that if the draft is the product of a WG there is already demonstrated support, and so I don't bother cluttering up the list with "+1, me too, FTW!, etc." but is this actually the right thing to do? What if I really think the draft is important / useful; is it appropriate then? Or, if I think that the draft may not pass otherwise? Is there any difference if it is not a WG product?
What would Miss Manners say?
