That's impossible. The IESG DNSEXT review has taken far too long; has required far too much effort on my part; does not follow objective criteria; and should never have been necessary in the first place. Again, my complaint to ISOC is that the IAB/IESG/IETF standardization procedures are in violation of United States antitrust law. This is not something that the IESG or IAB is going to fix. Let me emphasize that my complaint covers all IAB/IESG/IETF procedures, not merely the review procedures in section 6.5.1 of RFC 2026. The culprits include working-group chairs and document editors. I fully understand your point that you will not be able to review future actions of the IAB, the IESG, and their agents. My complaint is based on their past actions and on their published procedures. I have already amassed more than enough evidence to support my complaint. According to Scott Bradner, the IESG already discussed the core issue in my first complaint in 1998. But they still haven't responded. I see no reason to believe that they ever will. How many years do I have to wait before you engage in the review required by RFC 2026? ---Dan Bernstein
