Hi Dave,

 

Thanks for your work, please provide us with feedback while the process of editing. I was thinking to do something in the future, but thanks that you will do it.

Folks, There is now an Internet Draft, based on Adrian's's slides, intended to document common practice in the adoption of working group drafts:

Title:   Creating an IETF Working Group Draft

Status:  http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-crocker-id-adoption

Abstract:

   The productive output of IETF working groups is documents, as

   mandated by the working group's charter.  Working groups develop

   these documents based on initial input of varying levels of maturity.

   An initial working group draft might be a document already in wide

   use, or it might be a blank sheet, wholly created by the workiing

   group, or it might represent any level of maturity in between.  This

   document discusses the process of creating formal working group

   drafts that are targeted for publication.

Although it is not intended for a standards-track or bcp publication, it would be helpful to have discussion that moves the document to represent good agreement among the community.
