Hello all, as a result of the recent avalanche of messages on the IETF GeneralDiscussion list, I suggest to apply the following two changes toIETF LC announcements: (a) To better qualify the action expected,replace the clause: | ... Please send substantive comments to ... by: | ... Please read this document and send substantive comments to ... (b) To simplify the resource pointers, and thereby better guide readersto more information available online regarding the subject draft,replace the trailing clauses following the pattern: | The file can be obtained via| http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-xxx-yyy-zzz-nn.txt|| IESG discussion can be tracked via| https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?... by simply: | The draft and related information (including IESG discussion) can be| obtained via:| http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-xxx-yyy-zzz-nn [[ If you prefer, the parenthetical clause could be elided as well. ]] Rationale: Any serious IETF participant that prefers direct access to the textversion of the draft file will be able to translate the above linkto the corresponding URL pointing to the I-D (mirror) archive of itspersonal preference, and infrequent participants are expected toappreciate the HTML-ized version generated by the IETF Tools servers. It should be noted that the Tools pages following the above URIpattern -- beyond containing a link to the related Datatrackerpage -- also contain a pointer to the responsible WG pages (if any)and offer the whole history of the draft under consideration. Best regards, Alfred Hönes. -- +------------------------+--------------------------------------------+| TR-Sys Alfred Hoenes | Alfred Hoenes Dipl.-Math., Dipl.-Phys. || Gerlinger Strasse 12 | Phone: (+49)7156/9635-0, Fax: -18 || D-71254 Ditzingen | E-Mail: ah@xxxxxxxxx |+------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________Ietf mailing listIetf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
