Title : Selective Copy-Editing Experiment for RFCs
Author(s) : P. Eronen, et al.
Filename : draft-eronen-rfc-selective-experiment-00.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 2006-3-1
This document proposes an RFC 3933 [RFC3933] experiment for the IETF
RFC publication process. The experiment is limited in scope and
duration. The specific experiment has been chosen because (a) it has
potential to provide a significant process improvement, (b) it can be
executed at a low cost, (c) it addresses a widely recognized problem
in the IETF process, and (d) tool support can be (and has been) built
for it. The experiment relates to the copyediting and other manual
tasks in the publication process. Specifically, the amount of work
these manual tasks require differs widely between drafts, and for a
certain subset of drafts there are either very minor editorial
changes or no changes needed at all, if we discount the different
formatting requirements between RFCs and drafts. The experiment
involves identification of this subset of drafts and processing them
separately with a "fast path" process that uses almost entirely
automated processes. For the drafts that belong to this subset, it
is expected that the RFC Editor queuing time is reduced from months
or years to weeks or less.

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
