There are 4 cases that could happen now:

Document Actions (WG) [ No IETF Last Call Issued ]
Document Actions (WG) [ Last Call Issued, No Consensus ]
Document Actions (Individual to AD) [ No IETF Last Call Issued ]
Document Actions (Individual to AD) [ Last Call Issued, No Consensus ]

For each of these cases, there will be some interaction with RFC 5742 if
the document is to be published on another stream (the alternative proposed
in the draft).

Whether or not this draft is edited, it would be helpful to know what
people think is going to happen to these cases. No publication at all? Or
publication with one of the IESG messages in 5742? I looked for some
Informational and Experimental documents languishing in the IESG queue,
since the authors don't seem comfortable discussing the concrete examples
they are reacting to.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-seantek-ldap-pkcs9/  (676 days ago)
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gutmann-scep/ (153 days ago)
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-trans-rfc6962-bis/  (318 days
ago)
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidrops-lta-use-cases/   (269
days ago)

IESG reviews that result in case #4 or #5 from RFC 5742 would likely lead
to no publication at all. As others have pointed out, the RFC Editor could
theoretically ignore this, but that doesn't seem likely in today's
environment.

It's not clear if this proposal intends to leave some documents unpublished
(maybe that is ok, but it should be clear).

thanks,
Rob
