My proposal was not that there be mandatory assessment, but that the
level be met.
Either way, not at all thrilled about it.
If we had to be assessed on English skills, though, think what other
assessments we could deploy as preconditions. We could give people tough
examinations on their threshold for being drawn into pointless threads,
devise a complex scale of condescension (and spark an exciting and
ill-informed debate about whether that's different to making patronizing
remarks), mandate a seeming inability to spot humour, and so on
- all useful skills for the IETF participant.
Actually, I'd say MORE useful than the proposal on the table.
