G'day, Last Spring, Ralph and I submitted the initial version of a draft revision to Working Group Guidelines and Procedures. As the draft explains: > 1.1. Background > > This version is organized as an aid to (new) working group > participants both as an introduction and as a later reference. > > o It describes existing IETF rules and practices and does not > describe or suggest any changes. > > Specifically this version of the document: > > o Replaces general IETF tutorial material that it had with pointers > to independent versions > > o Incorporates work from a number of targeted efforts over the years > > o Reorganizes content to aid direct use by working group > participants > > o Distinguishes between formal IETF requirements and processes, > versus common practices chosen by working groups, where the latter > are primarily discussed in a non-normative external IETF Wiki > (Appendix C) that can be continually revised by the community. We are seeking community discussion of the draft and suggestions for revision. Note that the draft has a lengthy list of Open Issues.
