A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Problem Statement Working Group of the IETF.
Title : IETF Problem Resolution Process
Author(s) : E. Davies, J. Hofmann
Filename : draft-ietf-problem-process-02.txt
Pages : 21
Date : 2003-9-2
This document suggests processes to address some of the problems
identified in the IETF Problem Statement.
This document decomposes each of the problems described in the
problem statement into a few areas for improvement, categorizes them
either as problems affecting the routine processes used to create
standards or problems affecting the fundamental structure and
practices of the IETF, and suggests ways to address the problems with
the routine processes that can be implemented as soon as possible
without disrupting other areas of the IETF processes. This version
of the draft does not suggest a process for dealing with the
structural problems due to the lack of concensus on the way forwards
in this area. Instead, the community is asked to offer alternative
suggestions for the process and submit them as Internet Drafts for
consideration by this WG.

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.
