In discussion with chairs of other routing working groups, it was noted
that there is sometimes confusion or misunderstanding about what is
sought when the chairs conduct adoption calls and WG last calls.
The top line is that we are looking for working group support and review.
In the case of adoption we are looking for whether the working group
considers the document a good starting point for the problem, whether
working group participants want to work on the problem, and whether
there is enough active participation to support and review the work.
This is also why we find "+1" response to be unhelpful in judging this.
For working group last call, we are looking for whether the working
group thinks the document is in good enough shape to be sent to the IESG
and the IETF community.
In particular, we assume that the authors of a document are in support
of it. What is of interest to us when we issue these calls is about the
opinion of the rest of the working group. Working group adoption and
completion requires that more than just the author team supports the
work. It needs broad working group support and review.
Yours,
Bruno, Jim, and Joel
