Its the perfect DHT with a random self-elected hash function on each member. Scales O(rnd^rnd). Aka: Problem really is that IETF is very lazy in drafting members to do reviews. If we wanted to adopt any of Lloyds ICO ideas, then it should be coins you collect for reviews and have to spend for documents you write. Everybody wants to come to IETF with their document, nobody wants to review (from 50,000 feet perspective). > CP> I really did not mean to suggest that.

This is easily resolved by WG chairs. Unless you have to fear collusion between WG chairs and authors, in which case you need to escalate to AD, etc. pp. > > AB> I suggest that the ADs appoint one participant to be against authors > per draft per developing it per WG, to make discussions on the list > (against does not mean always against but means that he/she is responsible > to say no/why-no when needed).

Sure, if we start to hand out IETF Diplomas or coins collected for opposing, otherwise you will only get the feedback from participants that they are personally or through their company interested in expressing. > AB> The AD should find a way to make participants discuss more deep into > each work.

We're working on cloning technologies for ADs to bring available AD cycles to the level needed to support this requirement. Cheers Toerless > Best Regards > AB -- --- tte@xxxxxxxxx
