When you say "RFC author", I guess you mean something which went through the
process to get a number. I guess that means that having your name on the
front page now has more significant value now. If two IDs merge, now it
matters who is an editor, and who is in "Contributors" at the end...
I would like to know why my previous list was too long or unclear?
I specifically listed:
0) attend the meeting in person.
1) be a document shepherd or working group chair on a document
that entered AUTH48.
"WG chair" was listed above, and I added "that entered AUTH48", because I
wanted to deal with the possible way to game things where a WG is created as
a sinecure. No dead WG. It's the act of going through AUTH48 that I care
about, not who you were. [The authors of the document get caught by 2]
And I included shepherd, because I want to provide more opportunities for
more people; if you attend meetings rarely, you are unlikely to be visible to
ADs for selection as an WG chair, but shepherds are in short supply.
And all the above things are trivially checked in the datatracker.
2) be the document uploader (pressed submit) on a document that
was scheduled into a WG session.
So anyone can upload at any time. If the WG takes your document on,
then the datatracker clearly knows this, so that part is easy to check.
If you draft-author- is scheduled, this will require some additional
datatracker effort for the WG chairs to indicate that your document goes into
the agenda... but, I we wanted to be able to track which documents were
discussed into which WG anyway for all sorts of reasons, so I think that his
work will already happen.
3) opened a ticket on a document that was scheduled into a WG session.
While the Issue tracker is not well integrated into the datatracker, I know
that many want it to be, and also that many want many other improvements.
Again, knowing that an issue was discussed at a WG session is pretty
important thing to track, I think... so really the datatracker OUGHT to know this.
4) scribed for the I* telechats.
This requires secretariat/I* action to confirm, and is frankly probably my
least interesting way.
Now, I can see how "AD" could make one eligible, and how an AD after a 6
year term, could easily become non-eligible having taken a break. But:
I don't like AD this way because it looks too much like the previous
IESG is selecting the new IESG. Yeah, random selection.
Since former ADs are well known, often well spoken (thus causing them to
write IDs), and are often asked to join directorates and do reviews
(therefore opening issues), and might even be really really good
shepherds... I prefer rules about what you do, not who you are/were.
