The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Creating an IETF Working Group Draft' <draft-crocker-id-adoption-05.txt> as Informational 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 2014-01-31. 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 The productive output of an IETF working group is documents, as mandated by the working group's charter. When a working group is ready to develop a particular document, the most common mechanism is for it to "adopt" an existing document as a starting point. The document that a working group adopts and then develops further is based on initial input at varying levels of maturity. An initial working group draft might be a document already in wide use, or it might be a blank sheet, wholly created by the working group, or it might represent any level of maturity in between. This document discusses how a working group typically handles the formal documents that it targets for publication. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-crocker-id-adoption/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-crocker-id-adoption/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
