Sorry, I dropped the ball on this document. Due to the way I was using

But the first thing I notice in the document is:

   This document is an Internet-Draft and is NOT offered in accordance
   with Section 10 of RFC2026, and the authors do not provide the IETF

That is, this document can't even be published as an RFC. Can the
authors please clarify why this boilerplate was chosen and why, e.g.,
the first of the ones below isn't appropriate?

I need to check further on this, but it has to do with the provisions of RFC2026 giving away more than we are willing to do.


I might ask you why the last statement couldn't read "... other than to publish as an RFC"? I.e., why do you include an option that prevents publication??

Is this actually a republication of a TIA standard (in which case
boilerplate 2 might be appropriate)?
