[Icar] Why I haven't signed up for ICAR

["Spencer Dawkins" <spencer at mcsr-labs.org>]

Just to repeat what's already been said more than once on this list - 
we haven't spent much time thinking about actually attracting 
reviewers.

Harald asked me to serve on the General Directorate.

Harald asked me to serve on the General Area Review Team.

Call me silly, but that was a big deal for me, both times.

Ted Hardie pointed out the "Ambulance Syndrome" in a plenary 
presentation at IETF 
58(http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/03nov/slides/plenary-4.pdf, slide 
8). Ted was right when it said it, no one argued with him then, but 
now it's a year later, and we're still making general appeals to a 
large group, and we're surprised when everyone thinks someone else has 
taken on the task.

And the "we" in the previous paragraph isn't "Mark and Joel" :-)

p.s. SIR was different, for me, because Dave was pitching it to me as 
"outside the hierarchy" - not part of the IESG -> AD -> WG chair -> WG 
food chain, but a group focused on architecture and evolution of the 
Internet as a whole. Sorry it didn't work out.
