The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Requirements for an IETF Draft Submission Toolset ' <draft-ietf-tools-draft-submission-09.txt> as an Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Brian Carpenter. Technical Summary This document specifies requirements for a toolset to support Internet-Draft submission, validation and posting. TOOLS Team Summary This is the result of discussion in the TOOLS team and significant public comment during IETF Last Call. The requirements and their priorities represent rough consensus among the participants. Technical Quality Brian Carpenter reviewed the specification. It has not been implemented but appears to be implementable. Note to RFC Editor In Section 6. Overall Toolset operation: OLD: The Toolset sources should be publicly available (R152/b) under a license certified by the Open Source Initiative [OSI] (R144/a), with an interface to report bugs and request enhancements (R145/b). These requirements are meant to enable the Toolset transfer from one management team to another and to allow for public review and contribution. To meaningfully satisfy these availability requirements, the Toolset has to implement the required functionality without relying on software with different availability conditions. NEW: It must be possible to transfer the Toolset from one management team to another, to incorporate work by volunteers, and to allow for public review of the developed code. To meet these goals, the Toolset source codes should be publicly available (R152/b) and there should be an interface to report bugs and request enhancements (R145/b). Development should be structured to avoid lock-in to proprietary platforms or backends. The tools team believes that developing the Toolset sources under one or more open source licenses following the Open Source Definition [OSD] would provide an effective way of meeting these requirements at reasonable cost. Care should be taken that the licenses selected allow code from different implementers to be mixed. Under Informative References: OLD: [OSI] "Open Source Licenses Approved by the Open Source Initiative", 2004. NEW: [OSD] "The Open Source Definition, version 1.9", Open Source Initiative, 2005, available at http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
