One thing I was thinking about when reading the call for volunteers for PESCI: I'd like to see thoughtful people on this group. Thoughtful people are likely to see that participatig in the group will be a painful experience. They are likely to not volunteer for the job. I'd like people to

That list has about 25 people on it so far - almost critical mass, but I do suspect that more than 25 people have interest in this topic. Maybe next week would be a good time to switch over. Brian Spencer Dawkins wrote: Dear Brian, Should this thread move to pesci-discuss? Thanks,

I understand the concerns you express. What surprises me with the IETF is the lack of methodology (at least for a French brain). This seems to fit the model since it works: it then should be preserved, at least in part. This may also be one of the systemic root of the problem. Brian introduces

Groups like NomCom and IPR have taken on tasks and done them, with community discussion of their charters and with community discussion as their documents went through the process. They are process change groups, and they work. Ted, Groups like nomcom and ipr have not had a multi-year
