Hello Florian - There is no official or coordinated review of IETF
documents. Because of the volunteer nature of the IETF, it mostly
depends on individuals.
I have been in contact with the USEFOR group for a while.
What particular serious problem are you speaking about?
If you know about a problem, just tell the WG. In many cases,
it may take a few iterations to achieve common understanding.
If no solution is achieved, there are ways to escalate the
issue, but I hope we don't need to get there.
Regards, Martin.
