[hrpc] status on draft-irtf-hrpc-political

[avri doria <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

Recently there has been an ongoing discussion about taking this draft to
Research group last call and then toward RFC using the IRTF process.
Mallory and I have also been discussing it for a bit.   We are trying to
determine whether its time for the last call.

During the Montreal session, from my remote perspective it seemed that
there was a willingness for it move to last call, or at least no
objection.  At least one person indicated they would do a review. Are
there reviews in progress that are on their way?

At this point I wanted to ask the list, is it ready for a last call and
are there people who have read it who either agree or who do not agree
with taking it a step toward RFC. Does anyone object to taking it to
last call. If you have read it and have a opinion/analysis, please do tell.

I also want to confirm that the latest copy is still -03 as found in
datatracker (17 May)

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-hrpc-political/
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-hrpc-political/?include_text=1>

I have one other question about the draft at this point.

<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-hrpc-political/?include_text=1>

In the Abstract, it claims  that it is 'undisputed' that the IETF
process of developing standards is a political process. While I
personally agree that it is a political process, reading through the
history of the discussions on this issue, makes me hesitate to call it
undisputed. While the question of the degree to which it is a political
process does not necessarily need to be definitively resolved in a
draft, it is enough to discuss the idea, we should probably be confident
on the degree to which it is  indisputable, or not. 

Thanks
