Re: ISOC BOT and Process BCPs

Hi Sam,

So, I'm puzzled by this.  my claim was that ISOC needed to approve
process related BCPs.  If you take a look at RFC 2031, it supports that
claim.  However, I'd kind of expect the other half of this to be in RFC
2026.  I certainly recall us sending things like BCP 101 before the ISOC
BOT. I also think we sent a couple of other documents there because they
were process documents.
However this is clearly more complex than I thought it was.

Scott, or anyone else with more history, can you tell us a story about
how this works?

My recollection from a few years ago is that we put various new process BCPs
in front of the ISOC Board and they minuted that they took note of them.
They were specifically not asked to approve them.

It's quite possible that this has been overlooked in some cases. Somebody
would have to grep the ISOC Board minutes to be sure.
