Michael,
- How are you handling ballots currently in progress?
I see, for instance, that draft-ietf-mobileip-ipv6 is in "IESG
evaluation" for Proposed, but still has an old-style ballot file.
We'll convert all existing ballots data into web based ballots.
In the meantime, you can still use the old way to submit your positions
along with notes.
In fact, the new system is totally compatible with the old method -- the
system automatically create the ballot template and send out to the
IESG. Also, it gives the Secretariat much easier way to update the
template.
So we will keep the old way so one can use email to submit his/her
writeups, positions, and comments.
For the public, the system will generate ballot template as a text file
and display to the user when requested. The template file will contain
all the up-to-date information of ballot so they don't need to wait for
next sync to view the latest ballot.
I'll implement this once all the existing ballot is converted to web
based ballot, which I expect to be done by early next week.
