Brian, As a matter of personal preference, I would very much prefer not to see process constructions that require repeated use of the status in order to disambiguate the meaning of the status. In other words, having to clarify that a DISCUSS is (really) a discuss (and presumably not something else) is not the way to clear things up - not even "clear enough." Either DISCUSS means what it implies (maybe we add some separate status for BLOCK), or we change the state name to an intentionally more ambiguous name (like HOLD, or PENDING). -- Eric Gray Principal Engineer Ericsson > -----Original Message----- > From: ietf-bounces@ietf.org [mailto:ietf-bounces@ietf.org] On > Behalf Of Brian E Carpenter > Sent: Sunday, June 15, 2008 6:00 PM > To: John C Klensin > Cc: iesg@ietf.org; ietf@ietf.org > Subject: Re: Appeal against IESG blocking DISCUSS on > draft-klensin-rfc2821bis > > Regardless of John's P.S., I'd like to make some comments > that the IESG may wish to consider: > > On 2008-06-15 05:11, John C Klensin wrote: > > > > --On Saturday, 14 June, 2008 10:44 -0400 Eastlake III > > Donald-LDE008 <Donald.Eastlake@motorola.com> wrote: > > > >> Standards track RFC 4343 was issued within the past five years > >> (January 2006 to be precise).
