We're all agreed that the IETF in plenary mode (i.e. all of us) can change
any/all policy/procedures, right?
...
So if people all hum to OK all that, it has _just as much legitimacy_ as
_any other policy/procedure set into place by the IETF in plenary mode_.
Alas, that's not how we do things. We have a process, and we need to
follow it. Anything else does NOT have legitimacy.
I suggest that
- the authors of draft-ietf-genarea-bcp10upd post an -01 version TODAY,
incorporating comments received so far.
- Russ, as Gen AD, immediately issue a formal (4 week) last call on that
version.
- The document be put on he 29 November IESG telechat for approval.
If we do that, unless something odd happens we will have this process
update formally approved BY OUR PROCESS in five weeks.
