  2. Basic Principles • IETF Working Groups are responsible for completing work & and are accountable for the quality of that work. • If Working Groups are to improve the quality and timeliness of their work, it is necessary for them to plan for, and carry out, that improvement. • If the IETF is to improve, it is necessary to learn what succeeded and what failed.

  3. What Next • Eight proposals were discussed at the BOF. • There was basic agreement that there are quality problems and that these topics are relevant to the IETF. • The sense was that these issues do need to be worked on, some amount of formalism is needed, but trials (running code) is a really good idea.

  4. Quotes • Why can’t people who understand resource contention principles apply them? • Now that I’m a working group chair, I’m very interested in this document! (Decision points/milestones in the WG process) • If significant documents got detailed review once, that would be an INCREASE over today!

  5. Closing quote • These proposals look like good experimental candidates – should we design a formal experiment, instead of relying on vague recollections?
