Sounds like a fine plan if the wg want to try it. Only thing I'd note is that it means editors need to be *very* careful to bring discussion back to the wg list when that's needed, since you will likely get comments in the version control environment that are not cc'd to the wg list. (The IETF will be considering generic solutions for that, if you're interested get involved with the tools team.) In turn, I suspect that means that wg chairs need to make sure there's an editor who really gets when a change needs to be discussed on the list and when its ok to just fix a typo. The httpbis wg have some experience doing this btw and have hit that specific issue of comments being made on github but not the list. There's a recent thread [1] that ends with good advice from the wg chair. And in case someone asks, reasons why we need the wg list cc'd include open-ness and to be clear as to what's an IETF contribution. There're probably more but these are enough;-) Cheers, S.
