Re: WG Document Shepherd Write-Up Template: Call for review (Ends 22/05/2026)

[Top posting]

Not always possible for dataracker to ask a confirmation of all authors:

  1.
see the usual delays at AUTH48 stage
  2.
some authors are deceased but kept on the authors list

Of course, one author or the chair could override this step.

Good call.  Perhaps the DT could ask:

  "Please confirm that you wish {I-D} to be published by the IETF as an {Stream-XYZ} RFC,
   with your name listed as {Contact Block}"?
