RE: Generalized Signaling documents

[John Drake <jdrake@calient.net>]

Bert,

I'd agree with 'main contributors' but not 'those who wrote say 30% of the
text'.  That reminds me of trying to judge programmer productivity by
counting line of code.  In the spirit of 'main contributors' why don't you
let the authors themselves do some soul searching and revise the list
themselves?

This seems to be more in keeping with the spirit of the IETF.

Thanks,

John

Chairs and authors/editors, if/when you go through a new
revision of the drafts (any drafts), pls take action

- to reduce the list of authors on the front page.
  main contributors (those who wrote say 30% of the text)
  can be on front page. Others can be explicitly acknoledged
  in the acknowledgement section
  An example is RFC2571 Acknowledgement section.

- Split your references in normative and informative 
  references. 

For details on these RFC-guidelines, go to the www.rfc-editor.org
web pages.
