Preferred Review Policy

Mark Nottingham edited this page May 11, 2022 · 9 revisions

We respectfully ask that Area Directors and Directorate reviewers adhere to the following directions when submitting Last Call comments, as per Section 6.1.2 of RFC 2026:

  1. Please use the IETF Comments Markdown Format. This allows us to easily create issues for them. Please validate your review using the tool before submission.

  2. Please check the issues list for similar open issues to avoid duplication (we will update it as reviews are submitted). In particular, please do not substantially duplicate another reviewer's comment. If you'd like to support another review's suggestion, the best place to do so is in the corresponding issue.

  3. If you find a serious concern (e.g., a blocking issue, a DISCUSS), please clearly indicate how you think it can be resolved.

  4. If you wish to make editorial corrections or suggestions, please do so either in a separate document that is linked from your review, or as a Pull Request to our repository. Please make separate Pull Requests for suggestions in each section of the document. Such editorial suggestions may or may not be acted upon, but please do not expect an explicit response or discussion of them.

Following these guidelines will allow us to publish a high-quality technical document without unreasonably burdening the editors. Thank you!
