Dear RFC Editor,
A few months ago I proposed that the RFC 3066 Bis would be speeded up
to get the RFC number 4466 (in line with an IETF tradition). I was
explained that one cannot expedite one particular RFC publishing
process, by-passing and delaying all the others. Is that exact?
If I ask it is because I announced an appeal against a BCP 47 Draft
in the coming weeks: we want to prepare it carefully. The matter at
hand is important and we will most probably have to escalate the
appeal to the IAB. We felt there was no hurry due to the rank of its
three Drafts on the RFC line, and no harm since authors chose a BCP
because BCP Drafts are immediately applied when approved. (IANA
applied it partly, IESG not).
However, if there was a way to by-pass the normal process to please
the authors, and due to the important external interests and who are
the involved stakeholders, I would certainly be glad to speed up the
process, killing a few vacation days of my team. All the more than I
am sure the IESG and the IAB would also be ready to do the same. The
question is only: is this feasible?
Also, can the RFC be published while there is an IESG or an IAB
appeal being considered?
I thank you for your response.
