Fw: New Version Notification for draft-elkschul-conflict-problem-01.txt

[Nalini J Elkins <nalini.elkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Community,

We had discussed at the plenary in IETF103 (as well as other venues) some potential improvements which may be made in the WG process of conflict resolution and obtaining consensus.  

There will be a second draft with potential solutions to the issues that have been pointed out in the draft below.

Please let us know your thoughts.

 

Thanks,

Abstract:

  At the IETF, we currently use a set of methods to communicate a point

  of view, to solicit input, to resolve conflict and attempt to obtain

  consensus within the group..  These methods include: writing an

  Internet Draft, discussion on email lists, discussion at face-to-

  face, interim or virtual meetings, and design teams.  At times, these

  methods fall short.  People become entrenched in their positions.  A

  Working Group may be split for a prolonged period wasting time and

  energy.  There may be a lasting impact.  While the authors support

  rough consensus, the collateral damage of this process, at times can

  be considerable.  This document discusses the benefits and drawbacks

  of each of the current methods of communication focusing solely on

  their efficacy at conflict resolution.  A companion document will

  propose some solutions including alternative methods of conflict

  resolution.

                                                                                 

Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission

until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
