A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the New IETF Standards Track Discussion Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Internet Standards Documentation (ISDs)
Author(s) : J. Klensin, J. Loughney
Filename : draft-ietf-newtrk-repurposing-isd-04.txt
Pages : 28

It has been observed that the current IETF standard designations, STD
nnnn and BCP nnnn designation, have not worked well. Problems have
been found when one of them is used either as a stable reference for
external specifications or as a combined reference for multiple
documents linked together into a single document. This document
proposes two changes to these designations. The first of these
changes would create a new document series and assign a new number
and acronym to a specification when it enters the first level of the
Standards Track (or is first designated as a BCP). The second would
migrate the concept of STDs and BCPs numbering of RFCs into actual
documents that detail what they identify, their publication
information and their change history. The document also specifies a
set of minor standards process changes to accommodate and integrate
the new style of doing things that is represented by the new document
series.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-newtrk-repurposing-isd-04.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.
