Re: Rough consensus? #425 3.5

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

I agree with the idea that there are extremes when we talk about our 
ideas on "review", but please don't assume that JohnK and Michael are 
the only people at that end of the pool...

I had assumed that the IETF would let IASA run things with periodic 
general feedback and rare specific feedback (only in situations when 
the feedback begins "we can't imagine why you ..."). The further we 
move from that end of the spectrum, the less I understand why we need 
an IASA in the first place.
