Proposed Charter
Over time, the IESG has developed an extensive balloting system to determine whether documents should be published on the IETF stream, including:
Both of these documents are published as IESG Statements; they are not part of the Internet Standards Process, and do not represent IETF consensus. However, they have significant impact on how the community operates, as an inevitable step in the process for representing IETF consensus on the IETF stream. As such, they too should be under community control.
The BALLOT Working Group will create Best Current Practice RFCs to replace these documents, with the benefit of community consensus on their contents. It will use the current documents as they exist today, and may publish them in that form, so long as consensus emerges to do so.
