Margaret:
The IESG discussed the situation with this draft on its call yesterday and
decided to approve the document. A formal approval notice will be
forthcoming in the next couple of days.
What did the IESG decide about when/how this draft will take effect? Has a
group been formed to assess its impact and/or to make sure that any changes
related to this draft happen in a coordinated fashion?
Section 2.3 of the document addresses some of this topic. I do not believe
that a coordinated effort is needed.
Do we need any tracker (or other secretariat tools) upgrades as a result of
this change? If so, is there a plan in place to do those upgrades?
There is a very minor Datatracker change needed. The 'Draft Standard' option
needs to be removed for publication requests. Until this happens, ADs and
Secretariat staff need to avoid choosing it.
Has there been any discussion with the RFC editor on how/when such changes
can be implemented in their process/tools?
Several months ago, there was a brief discussion. Since all of the current
Draft Standards remain so, there is nothing urgent.
I'm interested in knowing what sort of planning is underway for this change
and when it is expected to happen, because there will be some (not extensive,
but non-trivial) updates required to the EDU Team materials related to this
change (mostly in the Newcomer's training that Scott Bradner teaches, and the
Document Lifecycle course that Alice Hagens and I teach), and I'd like to
know the schedule for when they should be completed.
When the RFC is published, I would expect publication requests for Draft
Standard to stop.
Also, as you look at other proposed changes, please remember that any change
that we make does have some costs associated with it.
Thanks,
Russ
