[RRG] Process proposal: agenda admission control

[Tony Li <tli@cisco.com>]

Hi all,

As we all agree, RRG meeting time is our most limited resource, and  
perhaps also the most effective means to facilitate our convergence  
process. Thus, we would like to allocate adequate amount of time for  
discussions in our future meetings.  Consequently, we need to be more  
selective on the presentations of new proposals.  We would like to  
reiterate that the floor remains open for new proposals, so new  
proposals may still be submitted as a draft and considered on the  
mailing list.  However, we would like to ensure that only high  
quality proposals with substantive novelty will take group-wide time.

To assist us in this, the chairs plan to form a "program committee".   
These would be interested members who are respected architectural  
contributors.  For a proposal to be considered for an agenda slot,  
the backers of the proposal should approach members of this committee  
and ask them to review their proposal.  Committee members that have a  
conflict of interest (e.g., same employer) should recuse themselves.   
If any member of the committee feels that the presentation is  
worthwhile, it will be placed on the agenda, time permitting.  The  
identity of the endorsing member will be made public.

We would deeply appreciate your comments on this proposal.

Regards,
Lixia & Tony
