The IETF Chair is considering a proposal to eliminate tombstone files for Internet-Drafts that have expired, or that have been withdrawn or replaced. If the proposal is approved, then tombstones would no longer be created for such documents, and existing tombstones would be deleted from the Internet-Drafts directory. Please note that this proposal would *not* apply to tombstones that are created for Internet-Drafts when they are published as RFCs. Before proceeding, the IETF Chair would like to determine if tombstones continue to be of value to the community, and if there is a compelling reason to retain them. If you have an opinion on this issue and wish to contribute to the discussion, then please send your comments to tombstones@ietf.org by 5:00 P.M. ET on Tuesday, May 31, 2005.
