If you want to have good proposals submitted to RRG for presentations,
may I consider the following :
- choose a deadline for the submission of proposals, e.g. two months
before the meeting
That's unworkable if the RRG wants to meet at every IETF meeting,
because that effectively cuts the time available for submission in
half and means that at the meetings, we'll be discussing stale, two-
month-old proposals.
However, submitting new drafts the week before the meeting and
assuming that people will read them so they can be discussed doesn't
work, either.
- As I think that it is important for the community to be aware of the
proposals, they should be sent as internet-drafts or publicly
available technical reports and announced on the mailing list
Agree.
- during two or three weeks, the members of the committee write
reviews
for the proposals. The community could also discuss the proposals
through the mailing list
- the committee reads all reviews and selects the best ones for
presentations. The reviews are sent on the mailing list
I think this mechanism is too heavy. Don't forget that until now,
there were few, if any, limitations on who got to present.
Personally, I'd rather see the presentation time limited rather than
the number of new proposals that's presented. If you can't say it in
10 minutes, you're trying to say too much anyway and you may as well
have a reading break so people can read the draft.
And then maybe accept questions and remarks only from people who have
read the draft in a first round at the microphones.
It might also be useful to have presentations and discussions on
subsets of proposals rather than cover proposals in their entirety.
