A DISCUSS there to catch a set of problems and to *block* the document's progress until that problem is resolved. Yes, but note that there are multiple aspects of "unclear". You cite above the motivation aspect. There's also a DISCUSS criteria for other forms of unclear, e.g., if I can't figure out what I should do in the implementation, it would be an issue. The criteria document confirms: "The specification is impossible to implement due to technical or clarity issues." > Sure, but note that there is a specific NON-DISCUSS criteria on this point: > > Disagreement with informed WG decisions that do not exhibit problems outlined in Section 3.1 (DISCUSS Criteria). In other words, disagreement in preferences among technically sound approaches. > > Finding technical mistakes is good, but imposing the IESG's preferred technical solution over the WG's preference is inappropriate, but happens. If you are hit with a Discusss that is about preferring another technical solution, you should push back. Jari
