Hi, There are good things and bad things that come with having a new WG co-chair. I think I have helped the WG by driving the completion of milestones. That's the good part. The bad part is I bring my own opinions of what adequate review means.
The IETF has started using a new process, called document shepherding, for the advancement of documents to the standards-track. The chairs are given much more responsibility and authority to decide whether documents are ready for advancement. They are expected to write up their analyses of WG issues, consensus, and degree of review of the documents being submitted, and these analyses will be reviewed at every step of the process after this point, as the members of the IESG try to determine whether the document really is ready for advancment to standards-track. You can see the details they expect us to provide by reading draft-ietf-proto-wgchair-doc-shepherding-07 (which has been expanded quite a bit from the -05- draft used during your earlier WGLCs). I have shepherded a number of documents through the process, and I know how difficult it can be to get documents through the process, and how much the documents can be delayed during the standards-approval process if they are not really ready for submission to that process. I am concerned that the documents have not gotten adequate review during WGLC. There have been very few comments made, and I would like to see more reviews done by the members of the WG for each of these documents. If you have problems with the documents, speak up now, so the chairs can be sure your concerns are recognized and have been addressed. If you have read the document, and found no important problems and have no significant objections to the document, and belive it is ready to be submitted to the advancement process, please send a note to the WG saying so.
