RE: Fw: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-urlreg-noreg-00.txt

I think the scheme board is a good idea but we need to tread carefully. The
board should only have the ability to rule one of two ways: Approve or Send
to Group. I would suspect that sending the proposal to the group means the
proposal is dead since the board would only reject a proposal for a good
reason but still, it keeps the lines of power clear. The IETF working group
members make decisions, the board is just empowered to speed things up when
a proposal merits it.
