A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Twelve heresies, two visions, and one belief
Author(s) : T. Hardie
Filename : draft-hardie-12-2-1-00.txt
Pages : 0
Date : 2003-6-20
The IETF brings together a technical community that shares a
common dedication to making the best possible engineering choices
and protocol standards for the Internet as whole. The community
shares a number of common beliefs, which create the basis of a
common work style and inform many of the decisions made within the
IETF. As in many communities of believers, some of these beliefs
have been elevated to the status of dogma. In the process of
considering reform, the treatment of these as unquestionable may
be hindering progress. This document challenges some of the
beliefs which the author believes have become dogmatic. It also
presents two visions for the evolution of the IETF and articulates
a single belief.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
