The RFP for this work can be found at: http://iaoc.ietf.org/documents/Alternate-Stream-Specifications-RFP-2010-03-31.pdf All RFP are at: http://iaoc.ietf.org/rfpsrfis.html The deliverables section of the RFP is relevant for this discussion: Deliverables / Tasks 1. The Vendor shall refine the I-D, Requirements on I-D Tracker Extensions for IAB and IRTF Document Shepherds, http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-proto-iab-irtf- tracker-ext-01.txt by 1 July 2010. The focus of this revision will be to expand the document to cover the Independent Submissions stream, and of course, incorporate comments and feedback from stakeholders and anyone else from the Internet community who takes an interest in the work. The document shall describe three separate state machines, one for each of the supported streams. 2. The Vendor will participate in IETF 78 in Maastricht, Netherlands on 25-30 July 2010, including the code sprint on the day before the meeting, to refine and revise the Requirements on I-D Tracker Extensions for IAB and IRTF Document Shepherds. 3. The last deliverable will be the submission of a revised I-D on ?Requirements on I-D Tracker Extensions for IAB and IRTF Document Shepherds by 20 August 2010.
