It is, at its heart, an -00 :-) Let's work on trying to fix the text before assuming the whole structure is wrong. Let's set aside *which* community for a moment (IETF community or something larger) and work on making sure the document is clear where the IAB makes decisions versus where it facilitates the detection of and action upon consensus. Can you propose some text improvements? Leslie. Sam Hartman wrote:

OK. I was not paying that much attention in March,and if I'm too late, I certainly have no problem with the community choosing to allow a broader group to control the independent submission track, or to seed that to the IAB. I think though that the community ultimately needs to have the power to take back anything it has given. Basically, I think it is critical that ultimately everything within the greater IETF context be accountable to the IETF community. That is true of the IESG, the IAB and everything they do. I don't think this document represents that. --Sam
