[rfc-i] My comments on http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-kowack-rfc-editor-model-v2-00.txt

[Leslie Daigle]

Hi Brian,

I appreciate the timeframe is limited -- in my earlier note, suggesting 
specific issues with the document (and why I think it isn't the broad 
perspective Andrew is suggesting) I did suggest:

	+ focus on the parts of it that are actually needed to
	  get the RSE hired, and jettison the rest (for now).

I agree -- it is time for this to move on.  Hopefully, not at the 
expense of community engagement.

Leslie.
