Wordsmithing Party?




Ted and Bob,

It seems as if there has been quite a bit of traffic recently regarding
simple semantic changes to the documents with the goal of improving
their clarity and explicitness.

Would it be useful to have a "Wordsmithing Party" at the LA IETF?
Interested parties could come with their marked up versions of the
drafts (or have these presented via a proxy if attendance is
impossible).  The goal would be to clean up the text as much as is
possible in one fell swoop, and provide a quick and simple outlet for
many people's frustrations without making any functional changes to the
documents.  The modified drafts could then be presented to the list
immediately following the meeting and given to the IESG soon afterwards.
This would serve as a last call for semantic changes, so further
discussion would be drastically reduced.

How would you both feel about such a party?  Ascend would be willing to
cover the cost of a meeting space and dinner for anyone interested in
attending.
