Probably. And often to the repeated consternation of the community. We *repeatedly* get into arguments on the IETF list (and in working group lists) about what should be BCP or Informational and what should be standards track. I know chairs and ADs who get asked time and again for guidance on this topic, and they get different answers depending on who they ask (and the way the wind is blowing.) There is *not* community consensus on this point. We are haphazard in our assignment to each of the categories. > There is a core problem: you appear to be using your personal > terminology and definitions, rather than reflecting community practice. To the contrary, I am constantly reflecting on community practice. That practice is inconsistent. It varies by WG, by AD, by IESG, and by the entire community over time. Sometimes in waves. My push has been that *I* will try to have WGs in the Apps Area for which I am the stuckee be as consistent in their practice as I can convince them to be. So I'm trying. > In all likelihood, your terms and definitions are more reasonable, > consistent and practical than the community's, but that's irrelevant. > > What is relevant is established practice. If there were an established practice, I would agree with you completely.

Established practice, not > personal assessment. [...] > Please get the consensus of the community about this. I absolutely am trying to get said consensus. One document, one WG at a time. I have asked WGs (in other areas as well as Apps) why some documents are Informational or BCP instead of standards track. Sometimes they tell me to blow. Sometimes they agree and switch the documents to standards track. I'm hoping that if I repeat this exercise enough times, we can get to a consensus on this. Now, maybe you are complaining that, given my position as AD (and its unfortunate perception as authoritative), my style of trying to achieve that consensus is actually "coercing" rather than "getting" that consensus. (Stories of missing fire hydrants come to mind.) I've certainly misjudged such things before, and if I'm doing it here, I'll try to change tack. But my intentions are as pure as such things ever get. > Please then re-label the documents that have been misassigned.
