My apologies in advance for reporting what seems like a coherent idea that popped out during discussions with Pekka and Joel last night, but I'd like to suggest a next step for ICAR that takes into account some realities we're facing here. - we need experience with ICAR reviews before nailing down new process BCPs, - we have some ICAR reviewers signed up, but probably not enough to do ICAR IETF-wide yet, - we have a lot of reasons to do ICAR reviews, so I think we need to focus on one to get started - I'm making structural suggestions during document reviews for Gen-ART ("late reviews"), that people agree are helpful but WAY too late in the process, - we evolve our specifications from individual contributions under author control to working group documents under working group control, in most cases, and - we don't even have a BCP that talks about what it means to "adopt a draft as a working group". Howzabout we - identify an AD who is willing to commit one or more working groups as experiment fodder, - assign ICAR reviewers to any individual drafts that are adopted as WG items - review for document structure and completeness THEN, so draft-ietf-WG-mumble-00.txt is always our best effort, and - report the reviews and experiences with this experiment in Minneapolis? This has the advantage of doing something now with the resources that we have now ("contents may settle due to shipping"). Thoughts and comments?
