Now,
I'm not saying this shouldn't have been written and the authors have wasted
their time, but am I the only one who thinks this smells a little of an
attempt at the over-engineering of a voluntary group?
Probably not, but I don't think so. My bias is that more
information is always better than less information, and since
a lot of people are unhappy with how things are going (working
groups that never finish, documents and charters taking a long,
long time to get through IESG review, etc.) finding ways to tickle
out possible indicators doesn't strike me as a bad thing.
Two more things: 1) I don't see any engineering going on in or
around the document - just the beginning of an analysis, and 2)
voluntary groups ought to be held accountable to their participants,
if not the consumers of their work.
