1. Experience with RTG-DIR
Alex Zinin
RTG Area co-AD

2. Experience with RTG-DIR
About 20 members today
Selected arbitrarily by ADs
Official status--advising the ADs (ADs take the blame)
Closed-subscription mailing list
Used mainly for review of the documents coming OUT of the area
Also to review some documents coming to the IESG

3. Experience with RTG-DIR (cont.)
General appeals rarely work
Each document is assigned two reviewers (depending on the topic)
Dead-line is set
Comments are usually sent to the WG…
…sometimes discussed in rtg-dir first
…sometimes ADs proxy comments
Comments get recorded in the tracker

4. Experience with RTG-DIR (cont.)
Review happens during AD-review
Recent optimization: WG LC’s cc’ed to rtg-dir
Recent optimization: IESG agenda fwd’ed to rtg-dir
Consider it “late” review, hence request to look for show-stoppers only, plus ID-nits
Ask reviewers to separate technical comments from editorial/nits suggestions
