One easy solution to the problem is to not change anything in the current IETF or RFC rules. If an RFC has been published before the appeal is brought, and that appeal is ultimately successful, a new RFC is issued that obsoletes the old RFC. That new RFC can essentially be a NULL, although hopefully it would have an explanation why an empty RFC is obsoleting a non-empty one. That new RFC can also be partially populated; for example, if the resolution of the appeal is to pull a contentious section or appendix. Given the extreme rarity of the situation where an appeal leads to non-publication or changed publication, it seems wasteful to create new rules (and spend lots of time arguing about them) when no new rules are needed. --Paul Hoffman, Director --VPN Consortium _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
