Re: Naming convention for a WG I-D that returns to individual submission?

Florent,
as in many other things, the IETF doesn't have a history of complete consistency.....

in the case of an existing WG abandoning an I-D, I'm sure that the next version of the I-D should be named draft-myfavouriteauthor-something (where "something" can easily contain the WG name if so desired).

Sometimes, when a WG is closed with outstanding I-Ds, and some of these are finished as individual submissions, we have allowed them to be updated keeping the old draft name. But that's the exception.

Makes sense?

Hi all,

I am looking for procedural guidance on the naming convention to be
followed for an Internet-Draft that has been adopted as a WG item and
that has therefore been granted a name like
draft-mybelovedwg-blabla-XX.txt but that is now returning to the
individual submission status - be it that the WG finally abandoned this
WG item after more technical investigations, that the WG rechartered
making this former WG item now out of scope, etc.

Thus, this Internet-Draft should probably revert to a filename similar to
draft-myfavoriteauthor-blibli-YY.txt, shouldn't it?

I couldn't unfortunately find any relevant text on this (though I tried
RFC 2026 and http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.txt) :-(

Any feedback most welcome,
Many thanks in advance,

Florent
