This just came in. I think it is rushed, but there really many need
to be a venue to discuss the issues that have been raised by the
Last Call of draft-carpenter-rfc2026-changes.
Without a venue, I'm not sure how any progress can be made. There are
certainly at least a handful of interested people, which means that
Internet Drafts will probably continue to be produced and discussed.
That handful of people certainly don't agree on major issues, and the
recent discussion has shown.
This BoF could act as a catalyst for discussion on the viability of
changing the IETF procedures. Topics would include:
- Which parts of RFC 2026 can be easily updated?
- Which parts of RFC 2026 are so contentious that discussion of
them is not fruitful in the near future?
- Which other IETF procedural documents have parts that can be
easily updated?
- Should this discussion be held in a WG? If not, who will decide
when proposed changes are ready for IESG review, and what criteria
should they use?
That last one seems to be the crux of the issue. Without a manager of
the control plane, all the data coming at the IESG and IAB will be
un-prioritized.
