Re: [Ietf-and-github] Warren Kumari's Discuss on draft-ietf-git-using-github-05: (with DISCUSS and COMMENT)

[Richard Barnes <[e-mail]>]

You can suggest that, but you would be wrong :)  We have scope to our
process for a reason, namely to prevent surprises late in the process.
It's deeply disrespectful to people who have put in a lot of good faith
work based on the IESG's express commitment in the charter to say now,
"well maybe we shouldn't have chartered this work".

And despite Warren's assertion to the contrary, I have trouble reading his
objection any other way.  The whole point of the group was to recommend
practices.
