Something was pointed out to me in private mail that I should have remembered but did not. Since Aug 1998 the IETF proceedings have included the then-current Internet drafts (except for one meeting which seems to be missing). As I recall, this was started when the secretariat started offering CDs of the proceedings and there was extra space on the CDs. It was decided to include the IDs since the space was there to do so. (My memory is that Steve Coya suggested this to the IESG and the IESG thought it was a good idea.) Anyway - that means that most IDs since mid 1998 are already posted on the IETF web site, they are just not posted in an easy to use way. see http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/98aug/I-D/ http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/98dec/I-D/ http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/99mar/I-D/ http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/99jul/I-D/ http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/99nov/I-D/ 00mar - missing http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/00jul/I-D/ http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/00dec/I-D/ http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/01mar/I-D/ http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/01aug/I-D/ http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/01dec/I-D/ http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/02mar/I-D/ http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/02nov/I-D/ http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/03mar/I-D/ http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/03jul/I-D/ http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/03nov/I-D/ http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/04mar/I-D/ Scott _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
