The issues surrounding the extensibility of IETF protocols have been
widely debated. These issues include when it is reasonable to
extend IETF protocols with little or no review, and when extensions
or variations need to be reviewed by the larger IETF community.
Experience with IETF protocols has shown that extensibility of
protocols without early IETF review can cause problems.
The Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS)
suites of protocols have become popular for a number of applications
and deployment scenarios. One result of this popularity is a large
number of suggestions for modifications and extensions.
This document defines a flexible and responsive process for the IETF
to handle suggestions for extensions to the MPLS and GMPLS protocols,
and clarifies the IETF's responsibility to supervise the growth and
evolution of MPLS and GMPLS protocols.
The process allows individuals, IETF working groups, and external
standards bodies to influence the development of the MPLS and GMPLS
standards. When possible, existing liaison relationships are used.

In the body type:

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
