Alternative Proposal for Two-Stage IETF Standardization

Folks,

A few of us have formulated an alternative proposal for streamlining the IETF 
standards process.  We hope that it at least adds to the mix of discussion in 
the community.

RFC 2026 specifies a three-stage Standards Track.  As currently
practiced, IETF standards track documents typically attain only the
first stage.  This proposal discusses the problems caused by the
disparity between documented procedures and actual practice, and
proposes a simplified, two-step standard track, which will streamline
the IETF standardization process, with distinct benefits for each
stage.  Clarification of the criteria for handling documents re-
submitted as Proposed Standard is also provided.
