Abduussalam -
You probably have seen many responses to your message talking about who goes
into the Acknowledgements section. However, I am not sure your original
question was answered.
In short, it is the document editor that puts the acknowledgments section in.
In most cases it will be obvious who gets listed there. That is the substance
of the other messages on this thread. In rare cases a work group chair may get
involved.
As you are new, if you are a document editor, you can always ask your work
group chair for guidance. Conversely, if you feel you should be in an
acknowledgements section for your contributions, feel free to talk with the
document editor (first) and work group chair (second)

Hi folks,
I am wondering how author/ietf-editor fill in the acknowledgement
section in the RFCs or I-Ds. Does it make sense in IETF, or left for
author opinion? I am getting requests from IETF WGs, IESG, and IAB for
comments. My question is do you *make acknowledgements* in I-Ds or
just *take comments* for I-Ds?
IMO we get last call request for comments because RFC production is
all about getting volunteering comments from Internet community to
make I-Ds better, so does all I-Ds acknowledge (ACK) to any input
comment before the last call and after or it is only before last
call?, and if it gets submitted to IESG/IAB, and we comment does that
have no ACK in I-D?
I sometimes feel discouraged to participate in any world work if the
process does not involve my existance, just used with ignoring ACK of
the reviewers. IMO any comment has value to the authors (e.g. some
think only experts' comments are important to ACK) and to IETF,
otherwise, we may delete valuable ACKs in IETF, which is not right.
Best Regards
