IETF deliverable user QA.

This is the main thing I am interested in (in my 
Multilingual/Multilateral Internet area). Sometimes it calls for some 
weak to strong strategy to obtain better (yet not respected) texts. 
This is probably because there are not so many interested yet in that 
area (what is another issue).


However the real problem I met is the now structural disinterest of 
the IESG when considering a WG document to know if it matches the WG 
Charter. Producing efficient designs is something one can only try, 
but striving to meet predetermined goal and requirements should be a 
demanded prerequisite.


I wandered why the Internet standard process degraded (IMHO) that 
way. I feel it is because the IESG/IAB are not assigning 
predetermined goals and specifying requirements when chartering. They 
indicate an area to be considered. So the WG is actually to consider 
the whole issue (not only engineering but also market study, etc). 
This leads to postdetermined goals and requirements. The IAB/IETF 
consider the "geography" of the proposed WG, not the "political" 
motivations of its proponents. Then the IESG only considers if the 
delivery fits the geography of the WG area, and if it has an inner 
logic. This is probably because they have not the time/resources to 
verify if that logic fits the logic of the Internet architecture 
(they made too complex to understand in proceeding this way).

The IETF standards process is already so slow and uncertain that
people throw up their hands in exasperation and go around it.

Changing the process to make it even slower and add yet more hoops to

True.  Which is why it's necessary to handle the reviews in a pipelined rather 
than a stop-and-wait fashion.  But part of the reason IETF's process is so slow 
is that the 
only meaningful checks we place are at the end - so a working group typically 
labors to the point of exhaustion without having received any external 
feedback, so when the feedback does arrive the working group is so 
dysfunctional that it's nearly incapable of fixing anything (and it is often in 
denial about what is wrong).  Providing more early feedback will speed up the 
process rather than slow it down.

By the time IESG gets around to reviewing things, more often than not
it's too late to fix whatever is wrong.   What we need to arrange is that the 
significant review happens earlier, when the WG is still functional.  By the 
time the final review rolls around it should mostly be a formality - assuming, 
of course, that the WG has not changed things significantly since earlier 
reviews.

This is orthogonal to the earlier discussion about whether there

least, it should be: if you think it's hard to get people to let go  
of specifications they hold dear, try getting them to part with  
running code.)


The IETF wgs work well when there is a clear "best" solution or set  
of more or less equivalent best solutions. As far as I can tell, the

agreed - but to me this is just an indicator that the current process by which

strongly disagree with this. the market is good at local optimization but is 
lousy at long-term foresight. it's even worse at technical foresight. and this 
has a lot to do with why the Internet is such a mess now.  IETF is the biggest 
repository of protocol design expertise, and the fact that IETF produces so 
many protocols which are poorly designed is not by any means an indicator of 
success.

Maybe I'm unduly pessimistic, but I would have trouble working up a lot of
enthusiasm for doing work on a project if I knew that some gatekeeper
working in parallel might later tell me that I was wasting my time.

Although I completely disagree with your prediction that DKIM will be
useless, there are worse problems than standards that turn out not to be
used, so long as they are designed so they don't interfere with other
more useful work.  We seem to be managing that last issue reasonably well.

I have trouble working up a lot of enthusiasm for contributing to work that is 
going off in the weeds.  What I have in mind is not a "gatekeeper" but external 
review.  The external review would not be expected to tell a WG that it were 
wasting its time (though that is a possibility), but rather, how to make better 
use of its time by producing a specification that was more relevant.  

Apparently you think that an artist is the best judge of the relevance of his 
own work.

DKIM is a good counterexample of that also.  The existence of DKIM distracts 
attention from more useful work that could be done - partly because it's 
consuming energy from those who would work on more useful goals if they were 
chartered, partly because of the need for damage control, and partly because of 
the widespread assumption that since IETF has chartered DKIM that DKIM is "the" 
solution that will be promoted by IETF.

I find the assumption that external reviewers are better able to score a
project's "relevance", whatever that is, rather than the people who are
doing it and plan to use it, truly breathtaking.

This must be a different group of people from the ones who I find on the
DKIM list.  If we wanted to work on something else, we would be doing so,
and although I may overrate our collective wisdom, I don't think we're all
working on DKIM purely because we are too dim to imagine anything else.

Seems to me that if it weren't so difficult to charter and complete WGs,
there would be more of them, and people would be less likely to
overestimate the importance of one or another of them.  But I wouldn't
generalize too much about DKIM, or MARID, or ASRG, because people have
been looking for a magic spam bullet for 10 years and nothing we tell them
is going to stop that.

One reason that it's difficult to charter and complete WGs might be that WGs 
have demonstrated a huge potential to do more harm than good.

True, the spam area is more difficult than most.  But that ought to compel us 
to rely even more heavily on engineering disciplines, rather than to invest a 
huge amount of effort in a dubious direction out of a naive belief that doing 
something, anything at all, is better than doing nothing.

That's not quite sufficient, because most WGs aren't proceeding according to 
good engineering discipline (e.g. they're doing things in the wrong order, like 
trying to define the protocol before the problem space is understood), there's 
little external visibility of what the WG is doing (so it's difficult to make 
timely input without actually following the entirety of the mailing list 
discussion), and often, nobody with any authority over the WG is checking to 
see whether the WG is actually responding appropriately to such comments.  A 
more formal process is necessary.

In other words, we don't want to distract WGs with useful input ... better that 
they should keep their heads in the sand for the entire 2-3 years of their 
existence and then produce irrelevant or even harmful output.  And that way, 
maybe a few influential people within the WG can coerce the WG into producing 
something that favors their employers' short-term interest even if it harms 
other interests or glosses over important limitations.

Michael,

Merely calling something or someone a name like sclerotic or dillitante is 
unconvincing.  You haven't seen a proposal yet, you have no idea of how this 
would work (or apparently, how a review of an engineering effort should work), 
and yet you dismiss the very idea out of hand.  That's very similar the kind of 
failure that causes many working groups to produce poor or irrelevant output.  
You haven't refuted anything, you've merely provided a case example of why 
working groups need adult supervision.

good point.  anytime a significant number of people participating in a WG are 
lacking some important set of expertise or experience, there's going to be a 
lot of time spent educating everyone and adopting a common language.  and in 
IETF, because we try to engineer things for the Internet as a whole, it's 
entirely normal for a significant plurality of WG participants to lack some 
fundamental kind of expertise that is required to make the protocol work well 
at Internet scale.  so we have our work cut out for us.

Fair enough.  But I think Michael's note illustrates a somewhat different, but 
related, and very common phenomenon in IETF that is relevant to this problem.

All too often, we (and I include myself here) shoot down ideas before they've 
had a fair hearing.  We take an idea that is embryonic and - because we can 
_imagine_ that idea going somewhere that _might_ have a bad result - we do our 
best to kill it before it can breed.  In this way we discard many good ideas 
not because they have no merit, but because they bring with them the potential 
to change things.  The result is stagnation.

I think we do this because we lack confidence in the IETF working group 
process.  We all know that once something gets to the working group stage, it's 
very hard to kill.  No matter how badly it turns out, the IESG is likely to end 
up holding its nose - maybe demand a trivial text change or two or add a nasty 
disclaimer - but basically approve it.  By the time the WG has spent 2-3 years 
or more, exhausted itself and declared itself to be done, it takes a lot of 
Last Call feedback and IESG gumption to push back on it.  Simple fixes can of 
course be made, but significant design flaws can rarely be corrected.

At the same time, experienced WG participants know that even small, apparently 
trivial objections made late in a WG's lifetime have the potential to delay the 
WG's output for months or sometimes years.  So once there is a significant 
investment in a particular direction within a WG, there tends to be tremendous 
resistance on the part of core participants to feedback that would call that 
direction into question.  

Trouble is, in our current process, there's rarely any formal request for 
feedback, and little external visibility of a WG's output, until Last Call.  
Which basically means that working groups get most of the external feedback 
about their fundamental design choices long after the designs are frozen and 
the working group is too exhausted to fix anything. Ideally our process should 
encourage these differences to be resolved early - before there is a 
significant investment in the WG's output that would encourage denial on the 
part of its proponents, and before the WG is exhausted to the point that it 
cannot respond quickly and flexibility to external input.  And if we had a 
process that made it likely that significant problems were discovered early, 
the latter stages of review should be less time consuming and less risky.

So when I'm saying that working groups need multiple stages of formal, external 
review, what I'm really saying is that we need a structure for working groups 
in which we can have confidence that sufficient feedback will be obtained early 
enough to put good ideas on the right track and to see that truly bad ideas get 
weeded out in due time, most of the time.You (or Michael) and I might have 
somewhat different ideas about how to gain that confidence, or about the 
details for how to make it work without bogging down working groups, but the 
concept working groups need earlier external feedback is sound.   

Keith

p.s. as for additional review stages bogging things down, any good protocol 
engineer ought to understand that sliding windows produce better throughput 
than stop-and-wait, that a fin-wait state is unavoidable if you want a clean 
close, but the way to reduce time in fin-wait is to minimize rtt and packet 
loss...

Does this mean that audio streaming, including recording will be
available also for the EDU sessions scheduled for the afternoon of
Sunday, 7/9? 

Thanks,
