We could always turn that into a BCP I suppose, Separate from the usual question of the IESG setting IETF policy by fiat, without explicitly developing IETF rough consensus, there's the small matter of finding that policy about the handling of Internet Drafts. A visitor to the ietf site, is not likely to wander through pages until they find this policy. Rather, I'd expect anyone who is curious about the draft 'series' to look at: ietf.org -> "Internet Drafts" <http://www.ietf.org/id-info/ There, the only the text they will see on removal is: "Internet-Drafts have no formal status, and are subject to change or removal at any time;" If the IESG statement is, in fact, IETF policy on Internet Draft removal, it probably should be cited on that page. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net
