Possible metrics of success Increase interoperability of implementations of new protocols on the Internet (how to measure?) Shorten the time from "adopted idea" to "stable spec" for protocols from 2 years to 1 year (?) Reduce the number of man-hours required to document interoperability and formally acknowledge that it exists (no idea of what to put in the "from" and "to" fields....) Increase motivation of IETF participants to advance their work along the standards track, and increase the attractiveness of the IETF as a standards venue Other metrics? |
