Please see 'these remarks' on;
'San Francisco Digital Inclusion Strategy'

And my remark is why not a 'standard'...for Three Years? (PROTO-TYPE)

Phill,
As a result the IETF is a standards body with 2000 active participants
that produces on average less than 3 standards a year
and typically takes ten years to produce even a specification.
It is well understood that the Internet mainly runs on Proposed Standards,
so the appropriate metric is how many Proposed Standards the IETF produces
a year. I think you will find that is more than three.
We are certainly slower than we should be, but I think you will find that
the typical time from a 00 draft to a Proposed Standard is significantly
less than ten years.
Let's see - HTTP/1.1 was published as Proposed Standard in January 1997,
and draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-00.txt was posted in November 1995.
Brian
