Re: Proposal to draft an I-D for the I-D submission process
Hi Harald:
If you look at the "Tentative Schedule of Upcoming IETF/IESG/WG Web Tools,"
which is posted on the Internal IESG Web Page, you will see an item named
"ID Management Tool." This tool will allow IETFers to submit and revise
their IDs via a Web page. It will also allow them (where appropriate) to
submit requests to the IESG to publish their IDs as RFCs.
According to the current schedule, this tool will be developed by early
March, although (based on previous experience) the schedule will most
likely slip a bit. If the document that Brian is proposing primarily deals
with content, format, file-naming conventions, etc. for IDs, then it
wouldn't be affected much by a new submission system. However, if the
document deals with the mechanics of submission, then those would change
considerably. It's a great idea, but the timing may be less than ideal.
Just my two cents...
Regards,
Barbara

I've got an offer (from Brian Rosen, Cisco) to do the typing involved in
writing a draft an I-D documenting the I-D submission process from the
IETF user's point of view.
The only thing he wants to *change* about the process is the ability to
submit Marshall-XML - but the discussion on that caused the conclusion
that perhaps collecting the rules in one place was a Good Thing.
Of course this shouldn't constrain our ability to change the process when
needed, but not changing things without notifying the community is
probably a good thing anyway.
I think this could be useful. Other thoughts?
