Re: [Ltru] In the interest of moving faster...



In the interest of moving faster, we should choose *not* to discuss purely editorial issues and leave them to the editors to resolve at their discretion.

Hi -

As someone who's been doing IETF stuff for a long long time,
rather than as co-chair or as a technical contributor...

At this stage of the process, the fastest way to resolve
review comments is to look carefully at the proposed resolution.
If it's something you could live with, just say "ok" and
make no further comment.  If the reviewer doesn't make
a specific proposal, propose minimal-change text that
*directly* addresses the thrust of the comment.

The next-quickest path is to say "no, we already considered
this alternative and rejected it."

Word-smithing the proposal will slow things down, and should
only be done if there's significant problems with the
proposal (ambiguities or lack of clarity).

If you want to bring things to a grinding halt, drag
in peripheral issues not directly raised by the review
comment.

Ironically, total silence also slows things down.

Don't forget that after we're finished with it, the RFC
editor gets a chance to fix English usage, punctuation,
etc.

Randy
