The issue is that mere conflict with work in a WG is not a
sufficient reason to recommend against publishing. The IESG needs to
make a judgment call that such publication would actually be harmful
to the standardization process in the WG. For instance, in a recent
case we approved an independent publication even if the document was
clearly in the domain of a WG because we felt the circumstances
supported it. You have to consider a number of aspects, where the WG
is in its process, whether the particular submission is likely to
confuse the process, etc.
I see your point. I do expect the IESG to make a judgement call and
not turn down a work merely because it may have some relation to the
work being carried out in a Working Group. Although I don't like the
word "harmful", I see the rationale for that word in the text.
I don't care so much what words we use to say this, but I would like
to see that the ability to make this judgment call is retained. This
is why I like the current text more than the proposed one above.
I agree with you.
