Back in early 2016, the IESG began work on revising the Note Well
statement [1] to make it more readable and point more clearly at the
relevant IETF processes. This work fell between the cracks after
being kicked off, and we would now like to bring it to its
conclusion.
After substantial community conversation (including a thread in July
of 2016 [2]), discussion within the IESG, and consultation with the
ombudsteam and IETF's counsel, a final version of the new Note Well
that incorporates such input appears below. This revised text will
be available in PPT, PDF, and ODP formats from the Working Group
Chairs page [3] shortly.
