There is no suggestion that the review process would extend for 5 years. It would still be same as before. Just that it would be open.

In my mind, the problem is fairness of the review process. Another problem, that such a model may possibly solve, is dearth of reviewers and submission of sub-quality papers.

By IETF model, I was basically referring to its open review process.
