Patrik,
Thanks. Your explanation is detailed and clear. The original message should
have probably said 'the IESG is requesting input from the IETF community'
instead of 'this has been reviewed in the IETF'. The way the message was
written mis-lead me.
Regards,
Dan

The statement means that the IESG is going to have a look at the
document, but wants input to that discussion from the IETF community.
People can send input until Feb 5 (hmmm...3 days ago :-).
After this time period has expired, the Area Director in charge for
this document (the one which received the request from the working
group or individual, as in this case) will do a review, suggest a
descision for the IESG. The descision is what you see as the
announcement later in the process, and in the minutes from the IESG
meetings.
IESG meets every second week, but not always the AD in charge have
time between the last call closes (Feb 5) and the next meeting (on
thursday) to do the review, and sometimes ADs (which are only humans,
belive it or not) have lost documents. Yes, I know I am personally
guilty for some of them.
The important thing to remember for all of you is that after you have
given the document to an AD for IESG review, the AD is responsible
for the progress of the document until you hear otherwise. I.e. ask
the AD what the status is. You can also see status on
http://www.ietf.org/IESG/status.html.
If the AD or IESG have issues with the document, the editor (and in
many cases the wg chair and the wg mailing list will be noticed. You
don't have to do anything else than poke the AD now and then.

Co-Area Director, Applications Area
Thanks

Subject: Last Call: EtherIP: Tunneling Ethernet Frames in IP
Datagrams to Proposed Standard
The IESG has received a request to consider EtherIP: Tunneling
Ethernet
Frames in IP Datagrams <draft-housley-etherip-00.txt> as a Proposed
Standard. This has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product
of
an IETF Working Group.
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send any comments to the
iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org or ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by
February 5, 2001.
