Mark,

Diego

sponsorship.

I'm unclear whether the sponsorship mechanism is a way into the pool
that is IN ADDITION to an objective, performance-based mechanism (a la
SIRS) or whether it is the sole way.
If it is in addition, then dandy. I'm all for it.
If it is a sole way, it is a fundamental mistake, because it guarantees
that the review process will be dominated by the ADs.
However wonderful an AD is, or not, problems with IESG process have been
consistently identified as a source of on-going IETF frustration. Making
this technical review activity be completely subservient to ADs just
adds it to the problem space, rather than letting it operate with a pure
focus on technical issues.
yours, continuing to bang my one note,
