I think it's great that Wes put together
a proposal and I hope that it's seen as a starting point for
a wiki or some such rather than as yet something else that
needs an editor and needs an approval process and that isn't
as lightweight and responsive as something like an attendees
info sheet should be.
[WEG] For my part, since I've gone to the trouble of "draftifying" this, I plan
to get my document to a point where I feel that it's reasonably complete (ie
I'm not receiving any additional feedback on items that are missing) and
publish via the individual submission process. As with most other RFCs, what
folks choose to do with the document once it's published (use as a wiki/info
website template, summarily ignore, etc) is really up to them. It was intended
to be a (hopefully helpful) tool, and my best-case result would be that it is
provided with the information that we typically give to hosts to assist them in
hosting an IETF.
However, I purposely left any sort of formal direction to IAOC or the
secretariat out of this document, at least partially because I think that this
is simply one example of a recurring problem about how IETF should manage
non-static info (cf previous discussions about official per-RFC wiki entries,
etc), and I didn't want to have the solution to the generic problem be blocking
for this specific example.
In the meantime, my hunch all along has been that if for some reason the
baseline information necessary (not the answers to the questions) changed
enough that this document was in need of significant updates, someone (maybe me
if I'm still involved) would simply write an update to it.
