Trusting the IESG to manage the reform process (was:Re:Doingthe Right Things?)

Randy,

Presumably you mean:

>>     2) extra credit: what about the statement was incorrect and why?

RB> the comments i made that you also deleted

Including brief text segments, for context reference, is rather
different than "deleting" text. Given your own predilection for cryptic
reference, it's odd that you would describe it so pejoratively.

In any event:

1) Note that you did not address the contradiction between your two
statements,

2) You did not explain who is left, after you dismiss the worth of
authors, wgs and chairs, and

3) what is it, for example, about "community based criteria" that will
not scale.  And what is it you are suggesting as an alternative that a)
is practical, b) WILL scale, and c) is acceptable to the IETF community
(ie, the folks on whose behalf area directors are supposed to operate)?
