The IESG has received a request from the Network File System Version 4 WG (nfsv4) to consider the following document: - 'Rules for NFSv4 Extensions and Minor Versions' <draft-ietf-nfsv4-versioning-09.txt> as Proposed Standard 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 2017-05-12. 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 the rules relating to the extension of the NFSv4 family of protocols. It covers the creation of minor versions, the addition of optional features to existing minor versions, and the correction of flaws in features already published as Proposed Standards. The rules relating to the construction of minor versions and the interaction of minor version implementations that appear in this document supersede the minor versioning rules in RFC5661 and other RFCs defining minor versions. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-versioning/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-versioning/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
