I am opposed to approving this document as BCP. It is trying to solve the wrong problem; or to put it another way, it is trying to solve a relatively minor problem in a way that distracts attention away from more important problems. Approval of this document will exacerbate an already bad

On balance, whilst I appreciate the aims of this document, I think the proposals are not suitable for adoption. 1) This document radically lowers the quality of Proposed Standards. Given that to the wider world, an RFC is an RFC, I think this represents a mistake. Instead, in common with

As I have stated before, I do not think that this proposal will achieve anything useful since it will not change anything related to the underlying causes of few Proposed Standards advancing on the standards track. I see it as window dressing and, thus, a diversion from the technical work the

I think this draft may do a little good, but mostly based on the attention it brings to the issue. If it is actually desired to make it easier to become a Proposed Standard, it would be quite easy and straightforward to take real steps that would make a real different. For example, to *prohibit*
