For what it's worth, I am not talking about a specific draft or a specific WG at this point. I am of the opinion that we are not discussing a one-off issue. If protocol X disrupts protocol Y, we get into very interesting situations. It is also going to get us into a rathole that I want to avoid. My point was this: if a WG actually missed anything substantial and that comes out during an IETF last call, and the shepherding AD agrees, the document gets sent back to the WG. If the shepherding AD also misses or misjudges, any member of the IESG can send it back to the WG for resolution. What I think is not acceptable is for the author and one or more DISCUSS ADs to hack up the document and publish it. If it so happens that the issue raised was considered and ruled out as a non-issue by the WG, then the shepherding AD knows the situation already. Strong consensus in the working group damaging a protocol that matters to very few people (ok, that's a rathole) -- but here is where judgment is necessary. And as you note, any of the judgment calls are appealable. regards, Lakshminath > > My conclusion, again, is that in the end this is the sort of > judgment call that we *expect* the IESG to make.
