Just like the above, except that the chairs can see the email addresses
that people gave when they voted. They could then check this list
against the list that has actually been signed up on the wg's
mailinglist and filter out discrepancies, might these exist.
Maybe this is pointing out the obvious, but discounting input because
it comes from someone not subscribed to the list is Poor
Practice. Often, the most critical (but also the best) reviews come
from folk outside of the WG, who are not following the work closely,
and are reading a draft entirely on its own merits, and from a broader
perspective than the WG might have.
The pro of this procedure is that votes can always be reviewed, checked,
they are easily accounted for etc. And best of all, it doesn't require
one to be present at eg a meeting, so if for instance there would be a
vote during a meeting, even remote participants can be in the vote. Only
requirement then would be that people are able to read their email
where-ever they are, but that should not be a problem for technical
folks would it ? :)
*1) If you are not on the list, how else will you know what they are
talking about, thus why should you vote? ;)
Because an AD, chair or other concerned individual actively solicits
input from someone who is not actively following a WG (or is currently
focusing their priorities elsewhere)?
One of the realities of the IETF today (and for some time) is that it
is simply not possible for one person to closely follow all the
activities they might want to (or are expert in).
