Just to be clear:

I'd like to see normal usage of the I-D mechanism for developing
successive versions of the necessary documents. I don't consider
a web site that I have to remember to look at to be a satisfactory
alternative.


You & I are in agreement.

WRT the plan document:   it is an open statement of what we (minimally
IAB & IETF Chairs, more generally IAB/IESG) believe is the sequence
of steps necessary to get from "here" to "there" (where "there"
cannot be finalized until there is a BCP document that has been through
public discussion, revision and has been approved).  As such (an
open statement), I don't believe I-D is the appropriate form.

That said, if there are portions that the community needs to
review and approved, they can be pulled out and published as
a regularly updated I-D (and even published as an RFC, if that is
a useful part of our documentation path).

Leslie.
