The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'An Acceptable Use Policy for New ICMP Types and Codes' <draft-shore-icmp-aup-06.txt> as Best Current Practice 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 2013-11-18. 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 In this document we provide a basic description of ICMP's role in the IP stack and some guidelines for future use. This document is motivated by concerns about lack of clarity concerning when to add new Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) types and/or codes. These concerns have highlighted a need to describe policies for when adding new features to ICMP is desirable and when it is not. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-shore-icmp-aup/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-shore-icmp-aup/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
