This is a call for review of "The IEEE 802 / IETF Relationship"
prior to potential approval as an IAB stream RFC.
In Section 1:
"This document contains a set of principles and guidelines that serves
as the basis for establishing collaboration between Project 802 of
the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE 802) and
the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) of the Internet Society
(ISOC)"
Is the IETF a task force of the Internet Society?
In Section 3.1.2:
"4. Appointment of RFC Series and Internet Assigned Number Authority
(IANA) roles"
What is the meaning of IANA roles in the above?
In Section 3.1.4
"Voting: Both organizations use voting as a decision-making tool,
but IEEE 802 uses voting within working groups, while IETF
working groups do not use voting. Working group chairs may
ask for a "show of hands" or "take a hum" to judge backing
for a proposal, but this is not considered to be "voting" -
The IESG does ballot documents when considering them for
publication. This balloting is a final approval for
publication."
The first part of the text says that the IETF uses voting whereas the
"hum" is not considered as "voting". "Decision-making" might be a
better label.
