Re: [manet] Removal of abandoned WG documents from Datatracker documents page

[Christopher Dearlove <[e-mail]>]

Some of those are a blast from the past, some even before I was ever involved. I did check out a few to see if they had other than historical (or nostalgia) value, but I didn’t find any I would suggest not treating as indicated.

(Looking back, I see my first real contribution is an acknowledgement in a 2003 ID, but I’d been watching the group and using some of its work from I think 2000, maybe 1999.)

Indeed, in the ‘Expired Internet-Drafts’ section, there is a long list of mostly ancient documents. Obviously, the DLEP credit-flow ones need to be revived, but the others are I-Ds that were accepted as WG documents at various points in the distant past and have since been abandoned for some reason or other. Apparently, the way to stop these drafts from showing up is to set their WG state to “Dead WG Document”.  This is, therefore, what the WG chairs intend to do, *unless* WG participants give us reasons to retain any of these.
