Section 2.2 of -issue- reads:
Some of the key areas where the IETF's practices appear to need
tightening up include:
o Lack of explicit quality auditing throughout the standards
development process.
o Lack of written guidelines or templates for the content of
documents (as opposed to the overall layout) and matching lists of
review criteria.
o Poorly defined success criteria for WGs and individual documents.
ISSUE: Quality auditing can only be done by auditing to criteria or
guidelines. You can't make good guidelines without knowing your success
criteria.
SUGGESTED RESOLUTION: Swap the first and third bullets in the list, and
change "quality auditing" to "auditing against criteria for success". Might
want to reword the sequence so that "quality" still appears.
