Re: Should the RFC Editor publish an RFC in less than 2 months?

[Tim Polk <tim.polk at nist.gov>]

I can think of an example where a minor clarification was made in  
AUTH 48.  The appropriate AD confirmed the
change but it still proved to be very controversial.  (For the life  
of me, I have *never* understood why.  I have read that
sentence a thousand times, and I still don't see the problem.  Not  
that it matters here, of course.)  I don't know
if an appeal for AUTH 48 changes has ever been filed, but I could  
certainly see it happening.

There is no way to ensure that documents aren't published until *all*  
the appeals timers expire.  Given that, let's
encourage the RFC Editor to publish when ready, and we can  
concentrate on establishing a process that works
when the appeal concerns a published document.
