Re: [Mtgvenue] [Iasa20] Terminology issue in mtgvenue

Thanks for this heads-up, Pete! We in the IASA2 WG will put this in our work queue. I will take a look as co-chair early next week and try to actively start up list discussion on the details.

    With my mtgvenue chair hat on: An issue has come up over in mtgvenue 
    that I think really needs to be resolved by iasa20, and in particular 
    not by the mtgvenue folks alone.

    The Venue Selection document, 
    <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mtgvenue-iaoc-venue-selection-process/>, 
    refers to "IASA" throughout. When written, the document presumed that we 
    were working under IASA 1.0, and had references to RFC 4071. When our 
    documents got to AUTH48, we realized that it was going to come out right 
    on the heels of the IASA 2.0 docs and that it would be silly to publish 
    only to have to turn around and fix things. The initial suggestion in 
    mtgvenue was to pretty much do a global replace of "IASA" with "IETF 
    LLC" (with some other editorial changes). The document editor's version 
    with those edits is here: 
    <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc8491-auth48diff.html>. However, a 
    few folks (and in particular, folks who are active in iasa20) noted that 
    in fact "IASA" was correct, because under IASA 2.0, the LLC is under 
    IASA, and that using "LLC" might be incorrect in some instances. 
    Conversely, some folks thought that "LLC" was a clearer reference. As 
    that discussion has evolved, your faithful mtgvenue chair is no longer 
    sure that we've gotten this exactly right. On top of that, Alissa has 
    indicated that it's probably better to have iasa20 figure out what 
    terminology is appropriate to refer to the assorted entities, for the 
    sake of all documents, not just mtgvenue's.

    So, I would ask that the iasa20 WG review the above two documents and 
    let us know whether we've got it right or wrong, and generally let us 
    know which terminology should be used in which circumstances. I'm sure 
    mtgvenue folks will pipe up with their concerns, but guidance should 
    really be coming from a discussion in iasa20.

    BTW: Don't worry about the fact that the document is in AUTH48 or 
    whether it will need a new Last Call or whatever. Let's get the document 
    correct first, and then we'll figure out what process knobs, lights, and 
    buttons need to be operated.

    Cheers,
