I have tried to incorporate the extremely useful feedback I got
on this list and from the Korea plenary.
I hope this is ready to send to IETF-wide Last Call.
This is your chance to get at it early :-)
I haven't been all that involved in the IETF to have a strong
opinion on the draft. That being said, it sounds good.
Regarding deleting the appendix, I'd suggest not doing so, as I
think it fits the "Relevant" clause, namely :
"Note that it does not mean "correct" or "positive" - a
report of an experiment that failed, or a specification that
clearly says why you should not use it in a given situation,
can be highly relevant - for deciding what NOT to do."
I think including the possible mission statements that weren't
adequate will help further clarify the one that is.
If the appendix is retained, and it isn't too much effort,
expanded explanations of why the other mission statement
candidates weren't satisfactory or adequate may be of some value.
Regards,
Mark.
Take care,
Harald

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line
Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : A Mission Statement for the IETF
Author(s) : H. Alvestrand
Filename : draft-alvestrand-ietf-mission-01.txt
Pages : 16
Date : 2004-4-30
This memo gives a mission statement for the IETF, tries to
define the
terms used in the statement sufficiently to make the mission
statement understandable and useful, argues why the IETF
needs a mission statement, and tries to capture some of the
debate that led to this point.
The appendix giving the debate is intended to be deleted
when the RFC is published; it is only given here as a
reference and a thank-you note

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use
this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before
the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will
need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader.
Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different
behavior, especially when dealing with"multipart" MIME
messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into
multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail
reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII
version of the Internet-Draft.
