I don't think it is good to discuss comparisons in IETF because the IETF is open (other May not be), and we should focus on the development of our standards following IETF aim. The document does not mention any agreement requirement between IETF and other SDOs, if we want to allow such process. > > IMO the IETF has special aim and different standard vision than other SDOs , so IETF standards need to be interoperable, competitive, and not dependant. I suggest to add a requirement of existing agreement policy when doing work that involve other SDO. > Dear Abdussalam, Just to clarify what the draft is about: It is about documenting our processes and giving a characterization of Proposed Standards that match what amount of review we have performed and what the resulting quality is. There has been quite some pushback on the language that compares the quality of our output with the quality of other SDOs output. A version 05 will shortly be available (and I will post a message to the IETF list when it is) that is far more neutral (less condescending) than the previous versions of the document. Cooperation with other SDOs, in the form of e.g. liaison relations, is not the subject of this document. The document also doesn’t talk about various types of normative relations that IETF standards may have with other documents. I think that this document will not cause ‘longer discussions’ by itself. I hope this clarifies, if not feel free to contact me off-list. Thanks for engaging and kind regards, —Olaf
