Hi Benoit, At 07:14 17-04-2014, Benoit Claise wrote: >We discussed during the milestones during one of the last plenaries.

Lisa used to send monthly progress reports. It provided some visibility into what was happening within the area. A milestone can be an estimate of when X can be completed. I might suggest one and the group decides whether everyone can target that date and plan accordingly. There are times when deadlines may be needed as an effort can end up in failure. >Exactly, and we should understand why! >I like this tool: ><http://www.arkko.com/tools/lifecycle/>http://www.arkko.com/tools/lifecycle/<draft-name>-timing.html >For example: ><http://www.arkko.com/tools/lifecycle/draft-ietf-netmod-interfaces-cfg-timing.html>http://www.arkko.com/tools/lifecycle/draft-ietf-netmod-interfaces-cfg-timing.html >Where is the bottleneck?

Let's see. :-) The shepherd write-up does not provide me with much information. There's three years from the first -00 to the latest version of the draft. The author activity looks okay. There is less activity from the document shepherd (there is an explanation for that). There was a Last Call in April 2013. The AD asked for a revised I-D in May 2013. There was another Last Call in December 2013. The IESG didn't like something in the draft and it took seven months to address that. There's still the two and a half years. There are seven months between the date in the charter and the first Last Call. It would take some effort to figure out what happened during the first two years. It looks like the working group was the bottleneck. Regards, S. Moonesamy
