Just in case you do not read the ietf-announce mail list ... > From: IETF Chair <chair@ietf.org> > Date: January 27, 2016 10:31:43 AM EST > To: IETF Announcement List <ietf-announce@ietf.org> > Cc: "Heather Flanagan \(RFC Series Editor\)" <rse@rfc-editor.org>, IETF <ietf@ietf.org> > Subject: RFC format evolution and IETF documents > Reply-To: IETF <ietf@ietf.org>, "Heather Flanagan \(RFC Series Editor\)" <rse@rfc-editor.org> > > > For background, the RFC Editor and the IAB have been > working on the evolution of the RFC format. The IAB > will be sending a number of documents soon out > for review. At the same time, the tools team have > been working on what the new format requires > from the tools. Both the documents and the tools > requirements are available from the reading list > below. > > The IESG has discussed what this all means for > the IETF documents. The evolution is important > for the IETF as well, and we look forward to > being able to use possibilities in the new format. > > The IESG wanted to offer five points: > > 1. Please review the documents and send > feedback to the rfc-interest list at > https://www.rfc-editor.org/mailman/listinfo/rfc-interest > or the authors. > > 2. We would like to see the new format be > available as the base format for Internet > Drafts as well, supported by the relevant > tools, and usable by each of the RFC > streams as needed. Each stream may > of course have a policy on what content or > format features they prefer. > > 3. We expect the RFC Editor, the IAB, and > the tools team (incl. IAOC support) to make > the above possible. > > 4. From an IETF stream perspective, we are > in eager waiting mode. Once the format > definitions and tools are in place, we > will (among others) want to try the > new possibilities in IETF stream > documents. From a careful engineering > stand point we would like to start > small, and gather experience on > using the new format and tools. There > will be implications on how we review > documents, for instance. > > 5. Existing I-D submission using text > only will likely stay on for a long time > if not indefinitely, so old methods can > also be used as needed or desired. > > Comments appreciated, as always. > > Jari Arkko for the IESG > > Reading list: > > 1.
