RE: [Ltru] Re: Charter update proposal

["McDonald, Ira" <imcdonald at sharplabs.com>]

Hi,

The statistic I saw awhile back (on another IETF list)
was that the average RFC took six months to pass through
the IETF AD review and IESG last call alone.

The average RFC still spends more than a year in the
RFC Editor's queue, unless you do some very dubious
statistical manipulations.

The IETF standards process has broken down badly.

Cheers,
- Ira

PS - With no references or other issues, Printer MIB v2
(RFC 3805) took well over two years to pass through
IETF AD review, IESG 'last call', and RFC Editor.
