Issue: #751: Section 7 - Removability, using term "BCP"

2004-12-21 13:28:03
See: https://rt.psg.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=751

The text suggested by Scott would mean to change:

   Removability: While there is no current plan to transfer the legal
      and financial home of the IASA to another corporation, the IASA
      shall be structured to enable a clean transition in the event that
      the IETF community decides, through BCP publication, that such a
      transition is required.

into:

   Removability: While there is no current plan to transfer the legal
      and financial home of the IASA to another corporation, the IASA
      shall be structured to enable a clean transition in the event that
      the IETF community decides, through the publication of a 
      procedure document where a formal assertion of IETF consensus 
      is required (currently called BCP), that such a
      transition is required.
 
I find that latter sentence harder to read, but I can live with it.

I saw Scott (as only one) in favor of the change, while at least 2 people 
(Harald and Sam) objected. Not clear what I should do.
Unless instructed otherwise, I will leave the text alone.

Harald sez:
We don't have a better formal term at the moment for 
"procedure document 
where formal assertion of IETF consensus is required".

why not just say that?

open from last version

I'd change "BCP publication" to "using its normal 
consensus processes"
(BCP is no magic term and may not survive the newtrk process)


I did not see anyone speak up to support the use of the term "BCP"
yet the term (the meaning of which may change in the 
future) is still
used

I support it.
We don't have a better formal term at the moment for 
"procedure document
