RE: Comments on draft-iab-rfc-editor: IETF control

Hi Joel,

I don't think that the document that Mike and I have been discussing is the
same one that you're talking about...

The one we've been discussing is draft-iab-rfc-editor-00.txt, which is an
RFC Editor charter proposed by the IAB, with Leslie Daigle acting as editor.

The document that you are discussing is, presumably,
draft-klensin-rfc-independent-02.txt.  That is a proposal from John Klensin
to refine the RFC Editor individual submissions path.

Another pertinent draft in this area is draft-mankin-pub-req-08.txt, which
is the result of an IETF effort to define our requirements for technical
publication of IETF documents (part of what the RFC editor currently does),
written by Allison Mankin and Stephen Hayes.  There have been BOFs held on
this topic, and there may be a separate mailing list for discussion of this
work.

These documents are all related to each other, and people who are interested
in this topic should probably read all three of them.

May I suggest a different set of questions, on the "independent" list?
Instead of arguing about what the RFC Editor is, or who 
created, defines, or controls it, lets try to figure out 
whether we need to change the current situation, and if so 
what changes we need to make.

1) Does John Klensin's draft accurately describe what we are 
currently doing?  I believe so.
2) Do the small changes he proposes to have done make sense?  
Primarily, those seem to relate providing an appeals path.
3) Are their other changes to the current situation we would 
like to make?

Lets not arguing about what goes in which contract, or whose 
pocket the money comes from.
Please.

Yours,
Joel M. Halpern
