Is there a standard way to publish a "call for discussion" memo?
Yes, an internet-draft, perhaps containg prose such as "this draft is
intended to initiate discussion. At this time, the author does not intend it
to reach RFC status."
A little later, a "BOF session invitation" serves some of the same purposes.
Thanks for the info. I'm reading the documents to figure out how IETF process
works...
So basically, you write an I-D, send it to RFC editor. It gets published,
people discuss it. Later on it expires and is removed.
Not quite -- the RFC editor gets involved only when the decision has been made
to publish it as an RFC.
You submit I-Ds via https://datatracker.ietf.org/idst/upload.cgi; as long as
you meet the publication requirements (formatting, boilerplate, etc.) and don't
name is as a working group draft without the consent of the chairs, publication
is more or less automatic. After it appears, I'd advise you send a message to
the appropriate mailing list -- a WG list, for example -- pointing it out to
people.
