The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Improving Awareness of Running Code: The Implementation Status Section' <draft-sheffer-rfc6982bis-00.txt> as Best Current Practice The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-05-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes a simple process that allows authors of Internet-Drafts to record the status of known implementations by including an Implementation Status section. This will allow reviewers and working groups to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable experimentation and feedback that have made the implemented protocols more mature. This process is not mandatory. Authors of Internet-Drafts are encouraged to consider using the process for their documents, and working groups are invited to think about applying the process to all of their protocol specifications. This document obsoletes RFC 6982, advancing it to a Best Current Practice. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sheffer-rfc6982bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sheffer-rfc6982bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
