This is, in part, due to the directions of the IESG. For example, the IESG note that will be placed at the top of these drafts refer to things like a two year observation period. So, while there isn't anything in RFC2026 that documents what the IESG has requested, I don't think the "experiment" term is being thrown around quite as loosely as might first seem. Still, I think you are correct that this is not your typical "experimental" RFC process and people should be careful not to read too much into the term. -wayne _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
