Title : A model for IETF Process Experiments

The IETF has designed process changes over the last ten years in one
of two ways -- announcement by the IESG, sometimes based on informal
agreements with limited community involvement, and awareness, and
formal use of same mechanism as is used for protocol specification.
The first mechanism has often proven to be too lightweight, the
second too heavyweight. There is a middle ground.
This document proposes a middle-ground approach to the system of
making changes to IETF process, one that relies heavily on a "propose
and carry out an experiment, evaluate the experiment, and then
establish permanent procedures based on operational experience" model
rather than the ones that have been attempted previously.

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.
