[Ips] IMPORTANT: WG Last Call on NodeArchitecture Key changes

Everyone,

During AD Review of the NodeArchitecture key draft:

      Declarative Public Extension Key for iSCSI Node Architecture
                draft-ietf-ips-iscsi-nodearch-key-02.txt

our AD (Lars) observed that the draft is of sufficient quality and
utility to be a standards-track RFC (i.e., be published as a proposed
standard RFC instead of as an informational RFC).  In order to do
that, we need to deal with the following language in Section 12.22
of RFC 3720:

   For IANA registered keys the string following X# must be
   registered with IANA and the use of the key MUST be described
   by an informational RFC.

Similar language exists for Y# digest formats and Z# authentication
methods.  The exclusion of experimental and standards track RFCs
is believed to be an oversight in all three cases.

A standards track RFC can update RFC 3720 to correct this oversight.

This is an IP Storage (ips) Working Group Last Call on the following
changes in the direction and content of the NodeArchitecture Key draft:
	(1) Publish the draft as a Proposed Standard RFC instead of
		as an Informational RFC.
	(2) Add language to the draft that updates RFC 3720 to allow
		experimental and standards track RFCs in addition to
		informational RFCs for X# negotiation keys, Y# digest
		formats, and Z# authentication methods.
This is a WG Last Call on direction only.  Actual text to realize
change (2) will be provided later [translation: I don't want to invest
the time in writing it if it's not going to be used ;-) ].

This WG Last Call will run through 1159pm prevailing Pacific Time (US)
on Monday, November 6th, 2006.  Any objection to, suggested
modification to, or comment on this proposed direction needs to be
posted to this list before the end of this WG Last Call.

Thanks,
--David
