Hi IETF folks,
I have a few questions about IETF processes that I hope you all can
answer. I'm coming at these questions as someone who has participated
in a number of WGs, co-authored one RFC and one RFC-to-be, but still
doesn't fully understand the processes.
I'm looking at BCP 190 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp190). How do I
figure out which WG this document was developed in? It doesn't have a
working group listed in the header, nor does the corresponding RFC
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7320).
Also, what's the difference between a BCP and an RFC?
If I look at the document that BCP 190 Updates
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986) it lists the "Network Working
Group." What is that? I don't see it listed under
https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/.
In general, if I want to discuss amendments to BCP 190, what mailing
list would I use to start that conversation?
Thanks,
Jacob
Look it up on the tracker by its RFC number:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc7320/
Note that the ID versions listed include "draft-ietf-appsawg-..." which
appears to indicate Apps Area WG.
