While we're at it, these two sentences are contradictory."Internet-Drafts are a specific thing" but "some Internet-Drafts may besomething else". Since you have (reasonably) eliminated reference to areas and working groups, how about modifying this to sayThe Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) distributes its working documents as Internet-Drafts. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts.
I asked for feedback on the wgchairs list before posting here, and the discussion there also lead to some additional changes. John Klensin cautioned that more substantial changes are more difficult to fully vet.
I hence opted for changing the minimum number of words compared to the current boilerplate. The only reason I removed the "areas & working groups" bit was that I believe it's fully redundant and otherwise we'd need an extra line.
As Scott Lawrence points out this isn't completely true. How about:Current Internet-Drafts are available at http://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/.
See my other email. I think http://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/ current/ is best.
