Hi Leslie, and thanks for working on this. I also believe that this process is important and beneficial for everyone who either uses or produces (IETF, IAB, IRTF, individuals) RFCs. Overall, the timeline looks fine. I have a few comments and questions on it, however: > . developing analogous components for independent > submissions, IRTF documents, etc. (Not all yet on > the timeline). > > Do we know exactly what the missing components are? And for those components, what is the delta that is really needed beyond techspec, charter, and existing RFCs? For instance, the techspec draft talks about indexing and search services which would presumably apply to all RFCs, including individual submissions and April 1 RFCs. And we already have some material on individual RFC submission in RFC 2026 and RFC 3932. We also have some work-in-progress, such as draft-irtf-rfcs-00.txt that may help for the IRTF document parts. >May 15 2006 > Close of last call of TechSpec document > > Close of last call isn't necessarily the same as having a final document ready. Should the latter also be placed in the timeline? --Jari _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
