Mark, I think this is great. Thank you for doing it.

The general idea is to do an examination of Security Considerations sections from published RFCs. Doing that examination might help guide the revision of the fifteen-year-old guidance on writing a Security Considerations section by providing both quantitative and qualitative information about existing considerations sections. That research might (or, might not) be published in its own right and then used as input to drafting a RFC3552bis. > > I propose the methodology as a place to start – rather than dive right in and tackle the revision of RFC3552 immediately it seems prudent to learn from what we can of recent published RFCs. I’m not only proposing the methodology for comment and discussion, but I’m also interested in helping conduct the research once there is an agreed methodology. > > Comments and suggestions welcome as are suggestions of where else to try to gain input, > > mark > > Mark McFadden > Principal Consultantsea > mark@internetpolicyadvisors.co.uk <mailto:mark@internetpolicyadvisors.co.uk> > > <image001.png> > > > > > -- > Smart mailing list > Smart@irtf.org <mailto:Smart@irtf.org> > https://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/smart <https://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/smart>
