that is not the problem i see day to day.  what i see is chairs not
wanting to take a stand against weak documents, ersatz populism
being easier, and preferring to let it through to ietf last call
and iesg, letting the iesg take the heat.

rofl!  all the authority and fifteen cents will get you on the
subway [0].  but it seems not to make a squat difference to get
higher quality documents out from the wgs.
