Re: I-D Action: draft-hoffman-tao-as-web-page-00.txt

[Brian E Carpenter <[e-mail]>]

Oh, one thing I now realise is that the draft doesn't state that
the editor (in deciding what changes to adopt) and the IESG
(in approving an update) will of course do so by a normal IETF
consensus process (presumably ad hoc last calls) and subject
to appeal like anything else. This is so obvious in the IETF
context that I didn't even notice that it wasn't stated.

The sentence that should state it belongs about here:
  "The Tao
   has traditionally been an IETF consensus document, which means that
   the IESG has had the final say about what the Tao contained before it
   was sent to the RFC Editor.  Thus, the IESG should have final say for
   what the Tao says when it is a web page."

The IESG's "final say" is of course always in the context of determining
IETF consensus.
