Hi Alexa,
Please be aware of this document that has just entered a four-week IETF last
call. The document describes a proposed IETF process experiment under the rules
of RFC 3933.
The proposed experiment calls on the IETF Secretariat to take specific actions
under certain circumstances in corner cases of the experiment. C
This is a silly idea.
First, running code should already be considered as part of the context
of review.
Second, running code is not correlated to correctness, appropriateness,
or safety. See Linux for numerous examples.
Third, running code doesn't mean the doc is sufficient that multiple
parties can generate interoperable instances. It's merely the sound of
one hand clapping ;-)
Finally, NOTHING should circumvent the multi-tiered review process. That
process helps reduce the burden on the community at large via the
presumption that smaller groups with more context have already reviewed
proposals before they get to the broader community.
This is a bad idea even as an experiment.
