Re: H2 or J

[James M Galvin <galvin+ietf-nomcom@eListX.com>]

I prefer J.

On "reasonable" I'm with Harald.  The overall process timeline is quite
clear and everybody knows it (or is easily reminded).  There is no
question as to the "drop dead" time for a decision.

    Subject: H2 or J

    To the working group.

    We currently have 2 suggestions that, I believe,
    express two different solutions and sets of opinions.

    I would like to hear opinions from the WG on preferences
    to see if there is rough consensus on one view or the
    other.

    I have included the 2 sections of suggested text below.

    I have one other question I want to direct to the group.
    both sets of text refer to the CB making decisions
    within a reasonable time.  Is this sufficient? Or would a
    more precise definition of the time limit be needed.

    Thanks

    a.

    (H2)

    The confirming body decides whether it confirms each
    candidate using a confirmation decision rule chosen
    by the confirming body.

    If a confirming body has no specific confirmation
    decision rule, then confirming a given candidate
    should require at least one-half of the Confirming
    Body's sitting members to agree to that confirmation.

    The decision may be made by conducting a formal vote,
    by asserting consensus based on informal exchanges
    (e.g. email), or by any other mechanism that is
    conduct the normal business of the confirming body.

    Regardless of which decision rule the confirming body
    uses, any candidate that is not confirmed under that
    rule must be rejected.

    The confirming body must make its decision within a
    reasonable timeframe.   The results from the confirming
    body must be reported promptly to the nominating committee.



    (J)

    The confirming body decides whether it confirms each
    candidate. That decision must be made and reported to
    the nominating committee within a reasonable timeframe.
    Failing a decision, any candidate not explicitly confirmed
    or rejected, will be considered to have been confirmed.
