Re: The notion of "fast tracking" drafts

[Stephen Farrell <[e-mail]>]

John, Keith,

I really have to say that you both seem to be talking about
things that have nothing whatsoever to do with my proposal.

ISTM that you are of the opinion that anything the IETF
does to go faster is bad in and of itself because its
scary. This also seems to me to be an example of the kind
of process discussion wandering onto everyone's favourite
hobby horse that I mentioned before.

So I don't see any change to the draft is required, but
if you do have a direct comment on the draft, that'd be
welcome and I'd be very happy to get such comments. Or
perhaps I'm missing something that is relevant to my
draft, but if so, I don't see it, so you need to bring
your concerns down to issues with the draft if you are
making a specific comment rather than being generally
worried.

Cheers,
S.
