Re: RFC Editor Function SOW Review

Given the number of different working groups that have produced 
diffiult to read documents for RFC publication,
the indications are that we are missing some necessary ingredient for 
achieving this within the working group process.
I do not know if we lack the skills, incentives, or resources, but 
history indicates that we frequently have produced documents that 
still need significant editing.
While having a goal of improving this makes good sense, I think we 
need to work from the WG end, not the editor end.  Until we are 
producing better results, we can not cut down on the editing process.

Yours,
