Title : Ideas for changes to the IETF document approval
process
Author(s) : S. Bradner
Filename : draft-bradner-ietf-proc-ideas-00.txt
Pages : 11
Date : 2003-7-28
The problem working group has shown that a number of IETF
participants feel that the current process by which the IETF approves
documents for publication as RFCs needs to be changed. There does
not seem to be consensus on specific reasons that change is needed
but there seems to be consensus that change is needed. This document
is designed to provide some ideas on different ways that the current
processes could be revised. My intent is to spur discussion on
possibilities, not to say (at this time) what my preference is.

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.
