FW: Internet-Draft Boilerplate Reminder

FYI to I-D authors, from the IETF Secretariat. 

--------------------------------------------------------------
This message is to remind you that as of February 1, 2007 the IETF
Secretariat will no longer accept Internet-Drafts with the old 
(i.e. pre RFC 4748) boilerplate.  For your convenience, below is 
the text of the message that was sent to the IETF Announcement 
List by the IETF Chair on October 26, 2006 with Subject: Update to
Internet Draft and RFC Boilerplate.

The IETF Secretariat.
--------------------------------------------------------------
A small update to BCP 78 was recently approved by the IESG as RFC 4748, 
to update the boilerplate (i.e., standard legal text) in RFCs and 
Internet-Drafts to recognize the IETF Trust as a rights holder, 
instead of ISOC.

The actual boilerplate changes are given below this message.

Starting as soon as reasonably possible, all authors of Internet-Drafts 
are requested to use the new boilerplate. The RFC Editor will in any 
case be inserting it in all RFCs issued from 2006-11-01. (The rights 
held by ISOC in older RFCs will be administratively transferred to 
the IETF Trust.)

The public ID Nits checker already accepts I-Ds with old or new
boilerplate. The Secretariat has started accepting I-Ds with old or 
new boilerplate.

XML2RFC version 1.32 will generate the new boilerplate.
Users of I-D templates are requested to update them appropriately.

http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html and
http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.html are being updated.

Starting December, the public ID Nits checker will issue warnings for
old
boilerplate.

Starting February 2007, the Secretariat will refuse the old boilerplate
in Internet-Drafts.

We are sorry for the inconvenience, but this change cannot be avoided.
