Status: O

a couple of short comments on the  icar consensus doc..

semi-substantial
----------------

5.1  Who requests a review

==> this doesn't specify what happens to the review requests which do not
come from WG chairs/secretaries or ADs.  In particular, if a doc author
wants to get review of his shiny -00 submission nobody else has bothered to
comment.....

editorial
---------

Quite apart from
       the ICAR process, any member of the IETF community may, of
       course, review a WG document at any time s/he wishes and provide
       that input to the WG.

==> this should maybe be generalized a bit for the case where it isn't a WG
document (but individual submission to an AD).  This cornercase seems to be
missing from a couple of places in the draft..

   o  people who have authored 2 IETF RFCs approved for publication by
      the IESG, which includes non-WG documents submitted directly to
      the IESG, but not documents submitted directly to the RFC editor

==> This should probably be clearer worded like:

   o  people who have authored at least 2 IETF RFCs approved for publication by
      the IESG (which also includes non-WG documents submitted directly to
      the IESG, but not documents submitted directly to the RFC editor)

   o  current WG chairs whose WG has produced 2 RFCs

==> .. at least 2 ... ;-)  -- not sure if this is pedantically required
though..

  It is up to the WG chair(s) / secretary to choose the reviewers who
   review the document. In order to do this, reviewers in the pool must
   be clearly labeled with their area(s) of expertise they feel
   qualified to provide .

==> ... "input on"

Improved Cross-Area Review WG (icar)

=20

Wednesday, August 4 at 1530-1730

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

=20

CHAIRS: Mark Allman <mallman@icir.org>

        Joel Halpern <joel@stevecrocker.com>


=20

AGENDA:

=20

1.  intro/agenda bashing - co-chairs

2.  discussion of draft-ietf-icar-experiment-early-review-00.txt -

    David Partain

=20

Draft to capture the state of WG discussions - supposed to capture WG =
mindset

=20

Open issues:

=20

- guidelines, if any, for the form of the review?

=20

>From TSV - ask for important/crucial issues at the top of the review, as =
a summary of the review

=20

>From ITU - major technical, minor technical, editorial categories

=20

This isn't about binding, it's about demonstrating to ADs that "major =
technical" items have been considered

=20

Working groups have to consider comments, can't just ignore them

=20

What is "must respond"? Working group is free to say "we're right", not =
free to say "we've never heard this comment before"

=20

- information about potential reviewers? How many requests, how many =
reviews ...

=20

Number of reviews is also a recognition item for reviewers

=20

Average time to complete a review per page of document

=20

Need to be collecting raw information as we go

=20

Need to avoid "top 10" lists of reviewers, etc.

=20

Don't set the threshold to become a reviewer too high - need to be =
bringing in new reviewers (see later discussion)

=20

Reviewer specializations? Mark will show what we have so far

=20

What kind of review are we asking for? Very specific topics, or more =
general?

=20

Need to accommodate specialist reviewers and generalist reviewers

=20

A little history is a good thing...

=20

- Subjective criteria for admittance to the reviewer pool?

=20

Start by doing real work before you're admitted? AD can just decide?=20

=20

Requests are published publicly, so one could establish a track record

=20

Sponsorship by an AD? Definition of "good" for an AD is "what I would =
have figured out anyway"?

=20

Volunteering and accepting/rejecting should be in secret

=20

If "n" (reviews) is sufficiently large, that flushes out a lot of the =
idiots

=20

"Sorry, but your reviews don't seem useful" - as a teaching tool - but =
need to keep from turning ADs into fulltime mentors - are reviewers =
expected to be willing to serve as mentors? Could this be this an area =
directorate responsibility (defined broadly)?

=20

EDU team should (obviously) be willing to help here

=20

Could have a separate pool of mentors, set up independently

=20

Are we doing early or late reviews? ICAR is focused on early review - =
the hope is that this helps with late reviews as well

=20

WG needs some assurance that they are likely to get a good review from =
anyone in the pool

=20

Nothing but early review can reduce late surprises - this needs to be =
part of the success criteria for ICAR

=20

Some set of reviews plus AD sponsorship?=20

=20

ADs can sponsor anyone, but recommend looking at previous reviews? We =
trust ADs to do a lot more than make choices like this without adult =
supervision

=20

(Objective - it's "two or more" RFCs, not "two")

=20

- How do we measure success/failure of ICAR experiments?

=20

Some types of failure are easy to detect, but success is harder - look =
for absence of failures and keep going?

=20

Objective criteria for failure, subjective criteria for success

=20

Helped or hindered in RFC production? Experiment will be over long =
before we get an RFC out through this mechanism

=20

Ask the chairs, not the document editors, for success, but ask the =
document editors for feedback as well

=20

- How are people removed from the pool, or is this process needed at =
all?

=20

At least remove yourself!

=20

Let bad reviewers rot on the vine?

=20

Need a minimal "periodic survey" for self-removal? People should =
"time-out" after six months, or something

=20

Removal on the basis of quality - one person's crank is another person's =
helpful reviewer

=20

If you qualify and time out, you still qualify when you ask to be added =
back

=20

ADs need a removal-for-cause mechanism - we do remove WG chairs from =
time to time

=20

If reviewers don't provide reviews - performance criteria for remaining =
in the pool?

=20

This is a voluntary process anyway - why do we need to throw people out =
of the pool? What's the worst case? Is it as bad as what a WG chair can =
do? We can throw them out now...

=20

Are we talking one percent bad reviewers or ten percent bad reviewers? =
We don't need to create an expulsion mechanism for the experiments

=20

We pretty much agree we need a timeout

=20

What about a reviewer with an ax to grind? Is "serve at the pleasure" =
language good enough? Is "the grapevine" good enough? Bad reviewers are =
worse for new working groups with new chairs.=20

=20

Why is this worse than a bozo appearing at IETF last call? The pool is =
supposed to have more clue, and the working group is supposed to respond

=20

What about reviewers that don't review? Just timing out is good enough

=20

Underburden bad reviewers, ignore them, or overburden them? We already =
have three mechanisms

=20

There is a difference between a process that's seldom used and one that =
doesn't exist

=20

We don't have consensus here - take this question to the list

=20

How does AD removal map to pre-qualified participants? To the list...

=20

- What can we hope for from the IESG? How do reviewers, prospective =
reviewers, and working groups interact with IESG?

=20

IESG has promised Harald they will provide sacrificial working groups =
for the experiment, and are concerned about providing names of people =
who don't have time to review documents for ADs now

=20

"Perhaps your working group should get an ICAR review"

=20

We're asking "help us find working groups, help us find reviewers, =
sponsor reviewers" - IESG is mumbling on the middle answer

=20

- Other comments?

=20

Non-performance will be a problem - need backup reviewers - yes, and WGs =
can handle this however they want to - we could learn this in an =
experiment, instead of noodling about it

=20

We are depending on volunteers - dates and plans to follow

=20

3.  the ICAR web page and soliciting for volunteers - Mark Allman

=20

Web page available from ICAR charter page

=20

Describes the proposal for an experiment

=20

ADs can request reviews for non-WG documents, too

=20

Pool members send reviews to icar mailing address

=20

WG considers comments and suggestions included in the reviews

=20

Reviewer attributes - expertise, reviews, ideal queue depth, current =
queue depth, plus arbitrary bio

=20

Reviews and responses available from reviewer page

=20

Could be sliced by WG, by draft, etc.

=20

Logging time when information about requests and reviews are entered =
into the system

=20

Feedback? Codify expertise? At least sort by expertise? Grade expertise? =
What about subjective grade inflation? What about "wireless", "XML", =
etc.

=20

4.  experience with the general area review team - Harald Alvestrand

=20

Gen-ART is late review - one week before IESG processing - and general =
review, including readability

=20

IETF chair unable to get responsible and timely reviews, and other =
people had directorates and review teams - so asked for help

=20

Called an experiment, getting experience with fast reviews, identify =
what turns out to be problems, and actually publish reviews

=20

One-area pilot, so Harald didn't have to ask for agreement, and Harald =
already had a web server and mail server

=20

Review guidelines stolen from SIR, driven by IESG mechanics

=20

Reviewers assigned round-robin, reviews and names are public, started =
January 22

=20

Reviewers recruited word-of-mouth, "known to the AD", but also asked for =
volunteers on ICAR, no reviewers have crumbled yet

=20

One-person, one-document? Don't double up, because we have 20 documents =
per telechat and less than 40 reviewers

=20

10 reviewers, 135 reviews, lots of concerns, 5 DISCUSSes (at least)

=20

How did this compare to SIR experiment? This is review at a different =
level

=20

Load on AD: down. Community involvement: Up

=20

Lessons learned - one week is a short time, reviewers need a discussion =
forum, ten people isn't enough, it needs to be a team, procedures are =
necessary, IT support is optional but nice.

=20

Trying to move standards-track review to IETF Last Call time

=20

Would a single discussion forum scale to 200 reviewers?

=20

Unresolved issues: Follow-up is important. Procedures for pointing at =
information is important. Getting the WG's attention for non-critical =
issues isn't a solved problem.

=20

Not sure who to send reviews to (ADs, WG chairs, editors, or some =
combination).

=20

Reviews need to be more visible to the community (you can find them now, =
if you're psychic).

=20

5.   General Discussion

=20

What sort of expectations for reviewer responsiveness on committing to a =
review?

=20

Hard deadlines help us focus...

=20

Short timeframes are good, when we're asking for a commitment - Dave =
will suggest a number on the mailing list

If the shiny -00 is a WG document or a WG is thinking about it then a WG
chair / secratary can handle it.

If it is to be submitted to IESG independent of a WG then an AD can
handle it.

Then there are the others.  Two thoughts...

  * It could just get to be a mess if an author is requesting reviews
    and a WG chair is also requesting reviews because they each think
    they should.  (E.g., on an independent submission that is within the
    sphere of a WG, but not technically a WG item.)  In principle, this
    could be accounted for if the automated system was savvy enough, I
    suppose.

  * But, really... IMO, nobody has convinced me that I need to care
    about these documents.  If an author can't get enough buy-in from a
    WG (/AD) to get that WG to request review as part of the "should we
    take this on as a WG item" process then why are we bothering to
    expend reviewer cycles?  I just don't follow this.

(WG chair hat dusted off and put back on)

It'd be nice to hear more comments on this issue.

For early review I think I'd prefer that the wg chair or
secretary handle it, as well.  If the AD thinks there's an
issue, he or she can let the wg chair know that there's a need
for a review.

I agree.  What I really don't want to see is the reviewer pool, which I
think needs to be regarded as a scarce and precious resource,
being used to review drafts at the request of an author.  That can be
handled through the usual mechanisms (posting a "hey, look at this" 
message
to the appropriate mailing list, contacting interested people out-of-
band, etc.).

This was precisely my point -- I think the doc or the process needs to
have a good understanding how it will handle the authors who request
reviews of their half-baked ideas (when they shouldn't).

Folks,



PS> 5.1  Who requests a review

This is the sort of section that nicely demonstrates some core problems
in IETF process.  The problem that this sub-section is trying to solve
is real.  If there is no coordination in making requests, then things
really are a mess.

The question is whether we have made things better by micro-managing
working group internal operations in this document.  Not surprisingly, I
think we have made them worse.

If the document says something like:  "it is the the working group's
responsibility to obtain necessary reviews", then the document has said
all it needs to.  It has made clear the responsibility and has left the
details to the folks who have to do the work.

Think of all the other micro-events that we do not -- and should not --
dictate in the life of a working group.

One of the benefits of a well-run IETF working group is its freedom to
organize in a way that works for that particular topic and that
particular set of participants.

Let's not take that away.

(A nice side-effect of such simplification of the icar spec is that the
icar working group gets done quicker.)



PS> This was precisely my point -- I think the doc or the process needs to
PS> have a good understanding how it will handle the authors who request
PS> reviews of their half-baked ideas (when they shouldn't).

along the lines of Melinda's comment: the icar mechanism really is
tailored for formal working group efforts, and so requests come formally
from the working group.  that should provide enough of a filter, no?

When I first read the suggestion of "AD can handle it", my AD-load alarms 
went off - we have problems with getting cycles to handle independent 
submissions for the standards track that the author thinks is ready today, 
and doing it earlier in the process wouldn't make it easier (methinks).

But after thinking for a few minutes, it looks more reasonable; if the 
NORMAL path for a non-WG submission for review is through a WG chair of a 
relevant WG (it doesn't have to be a WG document), it's OK to say that "if 
an AD feels the need to have a document reviewed, he/she can ask for it".

So we get a statement saying:

- A WG chair can request review for a document he/she finds relevant to the 
WG
- An AD can request review of any document
- Neither one is obliged to request a review. It's their call to do so.

Makes sense?

I think so. Of course, there is nothing to stop an author requesting
reviews as a private matter, but having WG chairs and ADs as gatekeepers
for the icar process seems appropriate.

Of course, an author of a piece of cruft who can't get past any WG chair
or AD may then go and annoy the RFC Editor. Ultimately, the RFC Editor
relies on the same pool of potential reviewers as icar does, so
the Principle of Conservation of Review Work applies. Since that is a
law of Nature, we can't do much about it.

HTA> - An AD can request review of any document
HTA> - Neither one is obliged to request a review. It's their call to do so.


Yes, this sounds reasonable.

Here's why it isn't:

Reviews are part of the document development process. It is not an AD's
job to do the work of document development. That is the job of a working
group or an independent submitter.

An AD needs to facilitate the process of getting work done, but that is
different than getting it done themselves.  An example of facilitating
would be to make sure that the responsible person understands what will
help the process and how to get it done.

Before assigning a task to an AD, ask whether it is essential, or
whether the task can reasonably be done elsewhere.

Improved Cross-Area Review WG (icar)
 
Wednesday, August 4 at 1530-1730
================================
CHAIRS:     Mark Allman <mallman@icir.org>
            Joel Halpern <joel@stevecrocker.com>
NOTE-TAKER: Spencer Dawkins <spencer@mcsr-labs.org>


AGENDA:

1.  intro/agenda bashing - co-chairs

2.  discussion of draft-ietf-icar-experiment-early-review-00.txt -
    David Partain

    Draft to capture the state of WG discussions - supposed to
    capture WG mindset

    Open issues:

    - guidelines, if any, for the form of the review?

      From TSV - ask for important/crucial issues at the top of the
      review, as a summary of the review 

      From ITU - major technical, minor technical, editorial
      categories 
 
      This isn't about binding, it's about demonstrating to ADs that
      "major technical" items have been considered 

      Working groups have to consider comments, can't just ignore
      them 

      What is "must respond"? Working group is free to say "we're
      right", not free to say "we've never heard this comment
      before"

    - information about potential reviewers? How many requests, how
      many reviews ... 

      Number of reviews is also a recognition item for reviewers

      Average time to complete a review per page of document

      Need to be collecting raw information as we go

      Need to avoid "top 10" lists of reviewers, etc.

      Don't set the threshold to become a reviewer too high - need
      to be bringing in new reviewers (see later discussion)

      Reviewer specializations? Mark will show what we have so far 

      What kind of review are we asking for? Very specific topics,
      or more general?  Need to accommodate specialist reviewers and
      generalist reviewers

    - Subjective criteria for admittance to the reviewer pool?

      (This discussion is in the context of the WG having agreed to
      a set of objective criteria, by which folks are eligible for
      the pool without additional approval.)

      Start by doing real work before you're admitted? AD can just
      decide? 

      Requests are published publicly, so one could establish a
      track record

      Sponsorship by an AD? Definition of "good" for an AD is "what
      I would have figured out anyway"? 

      Volunteering for reviewer pool and accepting/rejecting by an
      AD should be in secret

      If "n" (reviews) is sufficiently large, that flushes out a lot
      of the idiots 

      "Sorry, but your reviews don't seem useful" - as a teaching
      tool - but need to keep from turning ADs into fulltime mentors
      - are reviewers expected to be willing to serve as mentors?
      Could this be this an area directorate responsibility (defined
      broadly)? 

      EDU team should (obviously) be willing to help here

      Could have a separate pool of mentors, set up independently

      Are we doing early or late reviews? This document is focused
      on early review - the hope is that this helps with late
      reviews as well
      
      WG needs some assurance that they are likely to get a good
      review from anyone in the pool 

      Nothing but early review can reduce late surprises - this
      needs to be part of the success criteria for ICAR 

      Some set of reviews plus AD sponsorship? 

      ADs can sponsor anyone, but recommend looking at previous
      reviews? We trust ADs to do a lot more than make choices like
      this without adult supervision 

      (Objective - it's "two or more" RFCs, not "two")

    - How do we measure success/failure of ICAR experiments?

      Some types of failure are easy to detect, but success is
      harder - look for absence of failures and keep going? 

      Objective criteria for failure, subjective criteria for
      success 

      Helped or hindered in RFC production? Experiment will be over
      long before we get an RFC out through this mechanism 

      Ask the chairs, not the document editors, for success, but ask
      the document editors for feedback as well 

    - How are people removed from the pool, or is this process needed at all?

      At least remove yourself!

      Let bad reviewers rot on the vine?

      Need a minimal "periodic survey" for self-removal? People
      should "time-out" after six months, or something 

      Removal on the basis of quality - one person's crank is
      another person's helpful reviewer 

      If you qualify and time out, you still qualify when you ask to
      be added back 

      ADs need a removal-for-cause mechanism - we do remove WG
      chairs from time to time 

      If reviewers don't provide reviews - performance criteria for
      remaining in the pool? 

      This is a voluntary process anyway - why do we need to throw
      people out of the pool? What's the worst case? Is it as bad as
      what a WG chair can do? We can throw them out now... 

      Are we talking one percent bad reviewers or ten percent bad
      reviewers? We don't need to create an expulsion mechanism for
      the experiments 

      We pretty much agree we need a timeout

      What about a reviewer with an ax to grind? Is "serve at the
      pleasure" language good enough? Is "the grapevine" good
      enough? Bad reviewers are worse for new working groups with
      new chairs.  

      Why is this worse than a bozo appearing at IETF last call? The
      pool is supposed to have more clue, and the working group is
      supposed to respond 

      What about reviewers that don't review? Just timing out is
      good enough 

      Underburden bad reviewers, ignore them, or overburden them? We
      already have these mechanisms 

      There is a difference between a process that's seldom used and
      one that doesn't exist 

      We don't have consensus here - take this question to the list

      How does AD removal map to pre-qualified participants? To the
      list... 

    - What can we hope for from the IESG? How do reviewers,
      prospective reviewers, and working groups interact with IESG? 

      IESG has promised Harald they will provide sacrificial working
      groups for the experiment, and are concerned about providing
      names of people who don't have time to review documents for
      ADs now 

      "Perhaps your working group should get an ICAR review"

      We're asking "help us find working groups, help us find
      reviewers, sponsor reviewers" - IESG is mumbling on the middle
      answer 

    - Other comments?

      Non-performance will be a problem - need backup reviewers -
      yes, and WGs can handle this however they want to - we could
      learn this in an experiment, instead of noodling about it 

      We are depending on volunteers - dates and plans to follow

3.  the ICAR web page and soliciting for volunteers - Mark Allman

    Web page available from ICAR charter page

    Describes the proposal for an experiment

    ADs can request reviews for non-WG documents, too

    Pool members send reviews to icar mailing address

    WG considers comments and suggestions included in the reviews

    Reviewer attributes - expertise, reviews, ideal queue depth,
    current queue depth, plus arbitrary bio 

    Reviews and responses available from reviewer page

    Could be sliced by WG, by draft, etc.

    Logging time when information about requests and reviews are
    entered into the system 

    Feedback? Codify expertise? At least sort by expertise? Grade
    expertise? What about subjective grade inflation? What about
    "wireless", "XML", etc. 

4.  experience with the general area review team - Harald Alvestrand

    Gen-ART is late review - one week before IESG processing - and
    general review, including readability 

    IETF chair unable to get responsible and timely reviews, and
    other people had directorates and review teams - so asked for
    help 

    Called an experiment, getting experience with fast reviews,
    identify what turns out to be problems, and actually publish
    reviews 

    One-area pilot, so Harald didn't have to ask for agreement, and
    Harald already had a web server and mail server 

    Review guidelines stolen from SIR, driven by IESG mechanics

    Reviewers assigned round-robin, reviews and names are public,
    started January 22 

    Reviewers recruited word-of-mouth, "known to the AD", but also
    asked for volunteers on ICAR, no reviewers have crumbled yet 

    One-person, one-document? Don't double up, because we have 20
    documents per telechat and less than 40 reviewers 

    10 reviewers, 135 reviews, lots of concerns, 5 DISCUSSes (at
    least) 

    How did this compare to SIR experiment? This is review at a
    different level 

    Load on AD: down. Community involvement: Up

    Lessons learned - one week is a short time, reviewers need a
    discussion forum, ten people isn't enough, it needs to be a
    team, procedures are necessary, IT support is optional but
    nice. 

    Trying to move standards-track review to IETF Last Call time 

    Would a single discussion forum scale to 200 reviewers?

    Unresolved issues: Follow-up is important. Procedures for
    pointing at information is important. Getting the WG's attention
    for non-critical issues isn't a solved problem. 

    Not sure who to send reviews to (ADs, WG chairs, editors, or
    some combination). 

    Reviews need to be more visible to the community (you can find
    them now, if you're psychic). 

5.  General Discussion

    What sort of expectations for reviewer responsiveness on
    committing to a review? 

    Hard deadlines help us focus...

    Short timeframes are good, when we're asking for a commitment -
    Dave will suggest a number on the mailing list

With my WG co-chair hat on (and, after having consulted with the holder
of the other such hat) ....

Based on the discussion on the list and the discussion at the San Diego
IETF meeting I'd like to propose that we have rough consensus that
subjective entry into the ICAR reviewer pool be based on AD sponsorship.
And, further, we encourage folks to review a variety of documents that
ICAR has been requested to review and present those to the ADs at the
time of requesting sponsorship (but, that there is no magic N that is
required and that sponsorship is not tied to only these reviews).

I understand that some folks don't agree with this approach.  However,
it seems that we do have agreement to have *some* subjective criteria.
And, further, we need to get this experiment going.  I think we have
rough consensus that the above is a reasonable first approach (that can,
as with everything else, be tuned during the experiment).

If you feel this is unreasonable please yell soon (especially if you
have not voice an opinion on this issue in the past).  We'd like to
start some reviewing shortly.

Thanks!

allman

I'm unclear whether the sponsorship mechanism is a way into the pool
that is IN ADDITION to an objective, performance-based mechanism (a la
SIRS) or whether it is the sole way.

If it is in addition, then dandy.  I'm all for it.

If it is a sole way, it is a fundamental mistake, because it guarantees
that the review process will be dominated by the ADs.

However wonderful an AD is, or not, problems with IESG process have been
consistently identified as a source of on-going IETF frustration. Making
this technical review activity be completely subservient to ADs just
adds it to the problem space, rather than letting it operate with a pure
focus on technical issues.

yours, continuing to bang my one note,

This is in addition to the objective criteria, not instead of them.  THere 
had been an expressed wish by the working group for an additional, 
subjective, mechanism for getting people into the pool.
This is our best read on the rough consensus for such a mechanism.
Yours,
Joel

We did so, and in the ICAR meeting Harald indicated that this seems OK
(after chatting with the IESG, after Joel and I asked him about it a few
weeks prior to the San Diego meeting).

Did so in San Diego.
As long as they can decide based on reviews, and the normal case is the 
"objective" metrics, they're OK with it.

The meeting minutes say:

 >       Are we doing early or late reviews? This document is focused
 >       on early review - the hope is that this helps with late
 >       reviews as well

I'd like to add that I've thought for some time that we need early, middle
and late reviews:

early: to detect major conceptual or architectural problems

middle: to check that things are coming together well (e.g. that
the security considerations have influenced the design rather than
being an afterthought, that comments made in the early review
have been addressed, etc.)

late: that technical issues have been resolved, that additional
items like IANA considerations have been dealt with, and general
form and content issues.

(needless to say, the middle and late reviews should include
a sanity check that the previous reviews didn't miss any big
problems.)

    Brian
