The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Improving Awareness of Running Code: the Implementation Status Section' <draft-sheffer-running-code-04.txt> as Experimental RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-05-10. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes a simple process that allows authors of Internet-Drafts to record the status of known implementations by including an Implementation Status section. This will allow reviewers and working groups to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of running code, by considering the running code as evidence of valuable experimentation and feedback that has made the implemented protocols more mature. The process in this document is offered as an experiment. Authors of Internet-Drafts are encouraged to consider using the process for their documents, and working groups are invited to think about applying the process to all of their protocol specifications. The authors of this document intend to collate experiences with this experiment and to report them to the community. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sheffer-running-code/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sheffer-running-code/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
