Fundamentally, no, it is NOT normalized. It is the reviewers judgment of the importance.

I try to use a measure that says that if I were an AD, I would think this was blocking before I mark things as Major. But that is just me. And is still a judgment call.

And, in case it got lost in the shuffle, remember that no gen-art comment is blocking unless the IETF Chair decides it is. Sometimes, he takes reviewer majors and makes them no-obj, and sometimes he takes reviewer minor and makes them discuss. He is the one who decides, not the reviewer.

Yours,
Joel

Hi Roni, and gen-art (other cc's dropped)

So, a gen-art question to the gen-art reviewers :-)

What is the criterion for major issue?

I'd not have thought that the issues below (which do deserve
a response) would be such a big deal. I do get that various
collections of IETFers will disagree about such, but I'd hope
that gen-art would/could normalise it's opinion, and if this
is the result, I'm surprised.

Thanks,
S.
