I don’t think the right thing to do is to say “don’t fix it, since it’s AUTH48.” I also don’t think the right thing to do is to say “just fix it and don’t check with the WG.” However, in at least one case, we had some serious problems that were caught in AUTH48 after the WG had disbanded. We fixed these, and I think did an IETF last call, although this was ten years ago and my recollection is imperfect. > > I say this not to propose a solution, but simply to point out that this is a nasty problem. I don’t think there’s an easy solution, but I’m sure that we could define a formal process if there were energy to do this. I agree with other commenters who say that this is out of scope for the current effort, since this is really an IETF-track problem, not an all-track problem. This is very rare, but it does happen. When it does, the AD needs to decide if the fix is obvious or if the fix need to go back to a WG or IETF Last Call. Russ
