draft naming was RE: anti-harassment procedures

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



An annoying trend:

                   IETF Anti-Harassment Procedures
                   draft-farrresnickel-harassment-00

should have been farrel-resnick

             Opportunistic Encryption in MPLS Networks
          draft-farrelll-mpls-opportunistic-encrypt-00.txt

should have been farrel-farell

When trying to locate drafts by author name, or pick up on primary authors for indexing, or indicate drafts from memory, this cutesiness really doesn't help. Cut it out, Adrian.

If you don't actually want your name on a draft (and the need for anonymous draft submission seems as if it could be useful?) 'Smithee,' as used by film directors, seems a reasonable thing to adopt.
