Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) M. Barnes Request for Comments: 6385 Polycom Category: Informational A. Doria ISSN: 2070-1721 Research Consultant H. Alvestrand Google B. Carpenter University of Auckland October 2011 General Area Review Team (Gen-ART) Experiences Abstract The General Area Review Team (Gen-ART) has been doing reviews of Internet-Drafts (I-Ds) since 2004. This document discusses the experience and the lessons learned over the past 7 years of this process. The review team initially reviewed the I-Ds before each of the IESG telechats. Since late 2005, review team members have been assigned to review I-Ds during IETF Last Call, unless no IETF Last Call is necessary for the I-D. The same reviewer then reviews any updates when the I-D is placed on an IESG telechat agenda.
