First, of course we allow everybody to post drafts. I agree with James’ characterisation of how we approach the various proposals. On the policy being easy to find, and on us saying somewhere that IDs are just the opinions of the authors unless adopted by the IETF in some fashion: I have requested a change in the ID page to provide that information. I’m not sure we have other things do though. I’m sensitive to comments about the content of the policy, but I’ll note that we don’t do this often. In fact I cannot remember we have ever done this, but it could be that it is just a too early morning for me right now. I’ll also note that the policy lets us handle an exceptional situation when we come to it by taking it to the steering group. And making a judgment call on what needs to happen. In an emergency we can make a quick decision in IESG. So unless I hear something compelling, I’m going to assume that we all have other more urgent things to do in taking the Internet technology forward :-) Jari
