This is a list of the *questions* because they do not change much from one meeting to the next. The document already recommends that the *answers* which will be different for every venue be kept in a place where they are more easily updated. > While I agree that the questions won't change as often as the answers, it will likely change. We have come a long way from just asking how many cookies there will be. Also, if it gets published as an RFC, it is going to be viewed as a "specification". I think it's best to avoid that and just have a wiki. I would be surprised if this topic continues to be as active area of discussion in the future, making it unlikely that there would be new RFCs published. Further, is this something we really want in the historical record. Bob _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
