Hi Alexa,
Please be aware of this document that has just entered a four-week IETF last
call. The document describes a proposed IETF process experiment under the rules
of RFC 3933.
The proposed experiment calls on the IETF Secretariat to take specific actions
under certain circumstances in corner cases of the experiment. Could you please
have someone in the Secretariat look at the draft and comment on the
practicalities of the actions. Note that, at this stage, no changes to the tools
are proposed so any actions would require manual intervention (if the experiment
were successful and resulted in permanent changes to IETF process we might make
changes to the tools at some future time).
Thanks,
Adrian

Subject: Last Call: <draft-farrell-ft-03.txt> (A Fast-Track way to RFC with
Running
Code) to Experimental RFC
The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider
the following document:
- 'A Fast-Track way to RFC with Running Code'
<draft-farrell-ft-03.txt> as Experimental RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2013-02-08. 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.
Abstract
This memo describes an optional, fast-track way to progress a working
group document to IESG review. It is provided as a process
experiment as defined in RFC 3933 for use when working group chairs
believe that there is running code that implements a working group
Internet-Draft. The motivation is to have the IETF process
explicitly consider running code, consistent with the IETF's overall
philosophy of running code and rough consensus.
In this process all of working group last call, IETF last call, and
Area Director review are carried out in the same two week period.
Only comments that meet IESG Discuss criteria need to be addressed
during this stage, and authors are required to make any changes
within two weeks.
This experiment will run for one year.
