By the way, would it be possible for all DISCUSSes and COMMENTs for
I-Ds originated by a working group to be *automatically* copied to the
mailing list of the working group? The reasons are:
- the WG chairs, editors, and interested parties should
not have to monitor the I-D tracker to spot them
- there is otherwise no automatic archiving of the
follow-up discussions
- it can often be hard to tell from the record
how/if/why a DISCUSS was cleared (the entries in
the I-D tracker do not usually show this information)
- the WG has an obvious interest in the follow-up
discussions
- if the discussions result in changes to the I-D the
WG really needs to be kept in the loop
I agree, something along those steps seems quite useful. My
experience is that not all of the people who have an interest in a
document reads and thinks about DISCUSS/COMMENT's. In some cases, I
recall that COMMENTs were not even forwarded to me as document author,
I had to find them in the I-D tracker myself. I think this has
changed now, but doing what you suggest would go even further to make
sure that the IESG comments are widely seen and thought about.
