All,
I value the independence of the Independent Submission stream and
IRTF Stream from the IETF (including the IESG). Indeed, both the
RFC series and the acceptance of independent RFCs long pre-date
even the existence of the IETF.
I prefer that the IESG NOT have or assert the authority to mandate
additions to Independent Stream or IRTF Stream documents.
The existing approach where the IESG MAY request an IESG note is
more than sufficient for cases where a non-IETF document is making
an end-run around the IETF standards activities. We have lots of
operational experience that this works well enough, so there is
no obvious reason for the current approach to change.
Robert Elz's notes from earlier today on this topic seem sensible,
as do Joel Halpern's notes on this topic over the past several days.
Yours,
Ran Atkinson
