The IESG solicits comments on this proposed update. The IESG plans to make a decision on this proposed text on 2008-07-17. Please send substantive comments to the ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2008-07-16. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Insert in the Introduction, before or at the beginning of "Notes:"

-----
This memo uses the terms "MUST", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", and "RECOMMENDED", similarly to the use of these terms in RFC 2119. In particular, when they appear in ALL CAPS in this memo:

-"MUST" or "REQUIRED" means that if you do not do this in your I-D, the IESG will not accept the I-D for any review until the item is complete.

- "SHOULD" or "RECOMMENDED" means that there may be valid reasons to ignore the item, but an explanation must be given, either in the text of the document or as part of the submission to the IESG, as to why the item is being ignored. Otherwise, the IESG may not accept the I-D for review.
-----

This text both (a) puts draft authors on notice as to what the hard requirements are in order to avoid late surprises, and (b) puts reviewers of this memo on notice so that consensus can be reached on what are or are not real showstoppers for IESG review.
