A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Two Stage Standardization Approach
Author(s) : S. Dawkins, C. Perkins, D. Crocker
Filename : draft-dawkins-pstmt-twostage-01.txt
Pages : 5

RFC 2026 specifies a three-stage Standards Track. As
currently practiced, IETF standards track documents
typically attain only the first stage. This proposal
discusses the problems caused by the disparity between
documented procedures and actual practice, and proposes a
two-step standard track.
This proposal also defines an optional, pre-standards label
for use within working groups. The proposal is intended to
streamline the IETF standardization process, and to provide
clear benefits for each stage.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-dawkins-pstmt-twostage-01.txt".
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.
