The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'IETF Working Groups' Secretaries' <draft-secretaries-good-practices-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 2014-07-10. 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 The Working Group Secretary's role was succinctly defined in RFC 2418. However, this role has greatly evolved and increased both in value and scope, since the writing of RFC 2418. This document updates RFC 2418 by providing a new definition of the Working Group Secretary's role. This document also provides a compilation of good practices and general guidelines regarding the fulfilment of the role. This document is intended for established Working Group Secretaries, individuals motivated by taking up that role, or anyone else simply interested in understanding better the Working Group Secretary's role. This document may also be useful for Working Group Chairs to better appreciate and help develop the value of Working Group Secretaries. This document would be published as part of BCP 25. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-secretaries-good-practices/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-secretaries-good-practices/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
