Title : Document Shepherding from Working Group Last Call to Publication

This document describes methodologies that have been designed to
improve and facilitate IETF document flow processing. It specifies a
set of procedures under which a working group chair or secretary
serves as the primary Document Shepherd for a document that has been
submitted to the IESG for publication. Before this, the Area
Director responsible for the working group has traditionally filled
the shepherding role.
A Document Shepherd's responsibilities include:
o Providing the Document Shepherd Write-Up accompanying a document
that is forwarded to the IESG when publication is requested.
o During AD Evaluation by the Responsible Area Director, managing
the discussion between the editors, the working group, and the
Responsible Area Director.
o During IESG evaluation, following up on all IESG feedback
("DISCUSS" and "COMMENT" items) related to the shepherded
document.
o Following up on IANA and RFC Editor requests in the post-approval
shepherding of the document.
In summary, a Document Shepherd continues to care for a shepherded
document during its post-WG lifetime just as he or she has cared for
it while responsible for the document in the working group.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-proto-wgchair-doc-shepherding-08.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.
