[AVT] Changes to the internet-draft submission process

Folks,

Note that the IETF is beginning strict checking of the format for 
internet-
drafts, starting on 28th September 2004. You are STRONGLY encouraged to 
use
the idnits tool available from http://ietf.levkowetz.com/tools/idnits/ 
(for
download, or as a web-based service) to ensure that your draft conforms 
to
the guidelines. Drafts that do not conform will be rejected.

> Subject: Checking of boilerplate for Internet-Drafts
>
> Hello,
>
> A bit before the August IETF, we announced that it was time to use the 
> new
> boilerplate from RFC 3667 in internet-drafts, and instructed the 
> secretariat to
> heck that boilerplate.
> Due to some confusion, and the impending meeting, we asked them to 
> stop checking
> after a while.
>
> But we have to move on.... it is now almost a year since RFC 3667 was
> published, and the legal issues that the document was set to address 
> ARE
> important to the continued operation of the IETF.
>
> I have therefore instructed the secretariat to check some items of the
> boilerplate again, starting from September 28, 2004.
>
> On the particular issue of the boilerplate that got changed between 
> RFC 3667
> and the "fixed" draft-ietf-ipr-subm-rights-fix, I have asked them to 
> check that
>  statement is present, and that it contains words that indicate that 
> it was
> intended to be a conformant boilerplate - we will make those 
> instructions
> tighter once draft-ietf-ipr-subm-rights-fix is published, but not now.
>
> Instructions for making conformant drafts can be found at the usual 
> URL:
> http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.txt
>
> Pay particular attention to the section "Notices required in 
> internet-drafts".
>
> (Note: Any recent version of xml2rfc should be compatible with these 
> rules,
> provided you use the "rfc ipr=full3667" directive)
>
> If the secretariat finds a violation of the rules, the secretariat is 
> to return
> the wording of the violated rule to the submitter; this should 
> eliminate
> ambiguity about WHAT is wrong with a submission.
>
> With the hope of being able to go forward without worrying,
>
>                             Harald
