Hi Alexey,

During IESG retreat 2 weeks ago several IESG members suggested that
the WG publishes pre-evaluation documents as Informational RFCs
using the standard IETF process. I think this is a reasonable request.
The pre-evaluation I-Ds already have Informational as the intended
status. The template used mentions that:
"This Internet-Draft is not meant to be published as an RFC. It is
written to facilitate processing within the IESG."
If the I-Ds were to be published as RFCs, they would have to go
through an IETF-wide Last Call and the IESG would not be able to
process the documents as "Management Items". If the above request
was implemented, it would adds an additional two-weeks processing
time. It might also require a change in the YAM WG Charter as it is
stated that the WG consensus is obtained and the WG consults with the
IESG on the changes (and non-changes). The -bis I-Ds have to go
through an IETF-wide Last Call anyway and the IETF standards process
is followed.
If a pre-evaluation I-D is published as an RFC, an IESG Statement
would have to be included in the document to answer the questions in
Section 2.7 (see draft-ietf-yam-pre-evaluation-template-02). I don't
think that it is a good idea for the IESG to get into all that as the
YAM WG may have more ammunition if there is any strong disagreement.
