Are Gen-ART comments binding?

Only if IESG review process makes them so – i.e., if the General Area director agrees with the comments and incorporates them in the IESG ballot as “DISCUSS” comments. Gen-ART does not have a formal role in the standards approval process – we’re simply providing input for the General Area director who is deciding how to ballot the document. If the General Area director agrees with a serious concern expressed in a Gen-ART review, and uses it as the basis for a “DISCUSS”, the General Area director may later ask the Gen-ART reviewer, “does the new version of the draft address your concerns?” See the next question for when to produce a new version.
