That seems like a pretty specious argument -- it assumes as a prior that GRASP also must be standards-track, and ignores the well-established downref process. On the other hand, the ANIMA milestones do say to "submit autonomic control plane solution to the IESG (Standards Track)". (The charter itself does not say anything about document status.) On the gripping hand, the IESG does have the authority to determine the track on which a document is published. > It's true, I think, that the draft could do a better job of > separating the well-defined normative requirements from the issues > that are to a considerable extent implementation-dependent.
