            I am not sure why this rush to get a
              new internet draft out, without consultation to any of its
              original authors, and given the rough consensus on ietf
              mailing list discussion is to keep NETBLT RFC as is
              (experimental).

            
          First of all, I've consulted the initial author of it,
            John White, and some other people off-list. 
        
        
        With all the respect to John, he is not among the original
        authors of NETBLT RFC.
    
    I thought you meant the draft.  How can we contact them if we do not
    have any point of contact in the RFC?

    
      Wonder if you can tell me who are the other people that you
        contacted?
    
    Why are you so interested in it?  What benefit would you have if you
    get known that?

    
           The NETBLT spec found in RFC998 *as is* could not be
            appropriate for current Internet,
        
        
        It was not meant to. It's for discussion and comment.
    
    And what you cited is a comment.

    
      As I already quoted this in my earlier msg: RFC998 stated
        clearly that 
      

           This document is published for discussion and comment,
          and does not
           constitute a standard.  The proposal may change and
          certain parts of
           the protocol have not yet been specified; implementation
          of this
           document is therefore not advised.
        

           so there is a need for another one.  In the next 3
            months, I think, we will be a work on it.  Moreover, we plan
            to submit it as Independent Submission as Experimental RFC,
            despites it mentions the Standards Track one.

        I am confused here:
      in your message posted on Jan 7 (2 days ago), 
      http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg65041.html
      you said
      

        As for NETBLT, I am strongly against moving it to Historic,
          rather than specifying by Standards Track Document. There has
          been one attempt to do that by John White in 1995 (see
          draft-white-protocol-stack), but IMO (that likes strange,
          but...) we can align this document with the most current needs
          of Internet and publish.
        

        Mykyta
      
      
      but now you changed your mind?
    
    Not, I have not.  If that was, I wouldn't publish the
    draft-white-tsvwg-netblt.  I desired to move the IRTP to Historic
    only rather that other protocols I mentioned.

              This document is a specification
                of version 5 of Network Block

              
              Transfer Protocol (NETBLT). This
                protocol was firstly specified in

              
              RFC 969, that has been made
                obsolete by RFC 998. Nevertheless, none

              
              of these documents match current
                Internet Standards and are

              
              deprecated. This document aligns
                the NETBLT specification with the

              
              most current Internet Standards
                and obsoletes RFC 998.
