And it's very dangerous to assume that WGs are competent to produce high quality work in isolation at least with our current processes. Though I'd certainly be in favor of some kind of explicit extra-WG review earlier in a WG's or document's lifespan. > I have to agree here. There’s things that happen where some better cross-area would be useful, but we also face the fact that with a growing community it’s not possible to have all the implications in mind. A subtle change in one area with one protocol or how that transport happens may have ops impact for the protocol. A great example is that the large providers are often well represented but people who are still building services themselves just end up dealing with the changes vs having the bandwidth to participate with people whose full time job it is to e-mail the lists. The subject line of this is also possibly quite problematic as it may be about one or more ADs today or just an abstract problem. We should be cautious to not have this turn into painting the aircraft carriers bike shed while it turns lest we go overboard. :-) - Jared
