Working Group, I and Martin sat down with Henrik earlier today. We have started to use the ID tracker for MPLS wg documents. One immediate consequence of this is that document authors started to receive mail from the "IETF Secretariat" saying that the state of their document has changed. The ID tracker is a good piece of engineering and most of time the changes you see are pretty straightforward. However there is one state "Call For Adoption By WG Issued" that is not very intuitive; it is not the same thing as what we call "Poll to see of we have consensus to make this a Working Group Document". It is the initial ID tracker state, and the meaning is rather - if this document belongs in IETF it belongs in the MPLS wg. We have talked with Henrik to add a new initial state; something like "Candidate Document" that signify that the document has found its working group and that we are prepared to start the process to see if there is support for the document in the working group. Please look at the new states at https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/mpls/ to see if your document seems to be in the right state. ID Exist - means that we have not started the process to make this a working group document Call For Adoption By WG Issued - means that this process has been started Adopted by a WG - means that it has been adopted as a working group document (this is a transitional state, as soon as the working group document is published the individual document disappears from the working group web page) WG Document - is the initial state of the of a working group document Waiting for WG Chair Go-Ahead - the document has been in some type of review and some pieces has to fall into place /Loa for the wg chairs -- Loa Andersson email: loa@mail01.huawei.com Senior MPLS Expert loa@pi.nu Huawei Technologies (consult) phone: +46 739 81 21 64
