For changes in this IETF fabric, we need to go beyond the core mailing
list and promote information about the anticipated change, to get a
broader range of feedback.  The change will affect the broader IETF
population and the 2-week IETF Last Call comment window is too little,
too late, in terms of substantive feedback.

Does the format of DOIs affect the IETF as a whole? Really?


The need to consider that question carefully is exactly that point.

It might well be that the answer for a specific case, such as this, is
that it has no effect on the installed base and therefore need not
concern the broader community.  But IETF infrastructure activities
always need to ask this sort of question honestly and answer it carefully.
