Re: Last Call Reviewers

[Margaret Wasserman <mrw@windriver.com>]

Hi Jim,

The review team would not replace last call or any other step
of the IETF document process.

The reviewers would review the same publicly-available versions
of documents as everyone else in the WG should be reviewing, and
they would make their comments on the mailing list.  Their comments
would not be given special weight, beyond whatever weight they have
due to their individual respect in the community.

The idea is not to decrease visibility, but just to form a team
of people who are willing to be held accountable for thorough
and timely document review.

Margaret
