A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Internet Engineering Steering Group Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Considerations on the Extensibility of IETF protocols
	Author(s)	: S. Bradner, T. Narten
	Filename	: draft-iesg-vendor-extensions-01.txt
	Pages		: 8
	Date		: 2003-10-28
	
This document discusses issues related to the extensibility of IETF
   protocols, including when it is reasonable to extend IETF protocols
   with little or no review, and when extensions need to be reviewed by
   the larger IETF community. The document also recommends that major
   extensions to IETF protocols only take place through normal IETF
   processes or in coordination with the IETF.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
