Proposed New Note Well

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

 



The IESG and the IAOC legal team have worked together to propose a new version for the note well that is used in various IETF activities. The intent is to make the note well shorter and more readable, and point more clearly to the full documentation of the various rules.

The current note well is available at https://www.ietf.org/about/note-well.html and the proposed new one is below.

The IESG will make a decision about this matter shortly. Please provide comments, if any, to ietf@xxxxxxxx or to the IESG at iesg@xxxxxxxx before January 30, 2016.
