There wasn't any group consensus to move it onto the standards
track, either.
which means that it really was an individual submission and should
not have been cast as coming from the ASRG...
There is a mention in this draft about it being a product of the
Anti-Spam Research Group (ASRG), a group that falls under the IRTF (
www.irtf.org ). The guidelines and procedures for IRTF Research
Groups are described in RFC 2014.
Version 5 of this draft mentions that it represents the consensus of
the ASRG and the intended status was "Informational". The intended
status of Version 6 of this draft was "Standards Track". As such, it
would require IETF consensus and be published as an "Individual
Submission" which has gone through the IETF process. Version 8 of
this draft which was submitted after the Last Call has an intended
status of "Informational".
Dave has a point. If the drafts from the ASRG are said to be a
product of the group and represented as the consensus of the group,
it would be good to seek the group consensus for any changes. That
would avoid unneeded "issues".
