[Rasprg] TIOF - Work items proposal.

["Jean F. Quéralt" <[e-mail]>]

Hi everyone.

Following the conversation with Alvaro, Priscylla and Marcello, we would
like to propose the following work items for consideration to the RG:

- Considering the several efforts being undertaken to analyze IETF work &
historical data, there is interest in exploring what consolidated options
could arise from a collaboration among RG members. A single source of truth
of curated data would definitely help everyone and reduce the effort
frictions to obtain actionable research.

*Question:* Would this be of the interest of any of the RG members?
If so, could you please reply to this thread so we can map them?

- The above effort to build a "cleaned up" IETF database would require that
we agree on a standardized procedure for the clean up (or a way to tag
which rules have been used in case branching happens due to unreconcilable
approaches).
This could trigger some interim meeting/workshop leading to IETF 126 and
may even present some conclusions in the matter.

*Question:* Would the chairs support a 2 day interim meeting/workshop in
the coming weeks?
The hinted structure (as discussed among the initially interested parties)
would be
Day 1: Sizing up of the problem + Presentation of the different initiatives
out there
1 week in between for people to think/discuss about a possible standard
approach
Day 2: Presentation of proposed cleaning steps and assignment of work +
timeline

- The above may be grounds for an RFC. If we come up with a standard way to
clean the data, it may be worthy to consider this. While (surprisingly)
there seem to be no RFC governing the Datatracker, there have been RFCs
that extend its features (RFC 6175 and RFC 6322).
Upon discussing with the Tools team, we are advised to post on the Tools
Discuss list first, should we want to request for the consolidation project
to have a hosting home in the IETF.

*Next steps:* I'd be of the opinion to get things rolling on our end and
approach the Tools Team once we have an MVP to show them.
