A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.

Title : A Single-Stage Standards Process
Author(s) : J. Loughney, S. Dawkins
Filename : draft-loughney-newtrk-one-size-fits-all-00.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 2005-7-13

   This document proposes several changes of principle to the Internet
   standards process, specifically a reduction from three stages to a
   single stage in the standards track.  This does not effect the
   Informational, Experimental or BCP designations.
