Re: [Autoconf] On WG progress and draft-ietf-autoconf-adhoc-addr-model

Hi Charles,

I think you're right about new processes being discussed elsewhere in 
other WGs.

Existing process could be discussed here though, I believe.

Hmmm... let me think... who do I know in IESG...

Otherwise, let's see what we can do process-wise here in AUTOCONF.

How about asking the Chairs to ask the Group to send their requests for
agenda items soon?

This is also a sort of process, or ways I see happening already in
many WGs, and not in AUTOCONF :-(

If we do that agenda stuff now, then there'll be less surprise later 
during the meeting.

Or you prefer to be surprised?

Well I checked recently 6MAN, NETEXT, MEXT, ROLL, 6LoWPAN - the 5 had 
calls for WG item adoption.  Often there was call for adoption of the DT 
output too.

Hmmm... I am curious about the WGs where WG item adoption isn't usually 
happening with a call - please enlighten.

I am not nitpickying sorry.  I have already discussed twice offline with 
somebody else surprised how we don't see agenda, no item adoption call, 
on this WG.

Let alone the non-use of the issue tracker.

You might find all those to be obstacles to finishing the DT draft, I 
know - ok.  I personally can not go any further without such processes.

Let us finish here about process and say we don't agree.  I will read 
your post about this, but not reply unless you ask me explicitely to reply.
