Re: [Ltru] Re: [everson@evertype.com: The Language Subtag Reviewer]

The question before us is not Michael's performance, but what or whether 
to change anything about the Reviewer role in 4646bis. I think reviewing 
Michael's personal performance in the role is troublesome, since it 
verges on personal attack. After considerable thought, I think I have 
reached my own decision on how I think we should proceed:

1. I think we should not change anything at all about the Reviewer role 
in the current draft, with one exception (below). I think we made the 
right "design decisions". If the "implementation" is inappropriate, we 
should each, as individuals, take appropriate actions to improve it. For 
my own part this has included monitoring the ietf-languages list to see 
that the provisions of 4646 are generally followed and attempting to 
help registrants with their applications.

Note: we included specific text in the current draft dealing with 
delegation of listmom and so forth. Official roles with separate 
appointments are not necessary. Why burden the IESG with them?

2. I think we should include in the provisions for the IESG's selection 
of the reviewer a comment period on the appointment similar to other 
selections in the IETF. If some feel that the reviewer selected is or is 
not appropriate, they should have an opportunity to provide feedback to 
the IESG other than the appeals process at that time. Excepting appeals 
to the IESG, that would be the appropriate time and forum in which to 
critique the current Reviewer's performance.
