I am talking about IESG voting comments in datatracker.
I think it is important for the community to know how each AD voted
and which comments (blocking and non-blocking) were made. At the
moment I am the only person who has this information. Part of it is
scattered in various internal emails from various ADs, part of it can
be found in the recording of IESG telechats, etc.
If I step down from IESG my successor will not be able to reconstruct
this information easily.
Catching up a bit:
Alexey, I couldn't care less if the IESG wants to make believe that
these things are going to be published as RFCs in order to track them in
their tool because the tool doesn't understand anything that is not
going to be published as an RFC. That makes the tool broken, but who
cares? However:
- I think Last Calling these things is silly, though probably harmless.
These are evaluations of whether items are on our charter, only in a
more extensive way than most items hit a charter. This is an IESG
decision, not a community decision. If the IESG needs community input
into these decisions, that's fine, but I would think the IESG has the
expertise to make these decisions for themselves.
- The IESG making believe that these are RFCs notwithstanding, I can
assure you that my pre-eval document will *never* be published as an
RFC. At least not with my name on it. It will sit in AUTH48 forever if
the IESG wants to publish it and puts my name on it.
But like I said, I don't care if that's the way you want to treat it
internally; that's the IESG's business. :-)
