Re: Last Call: <draft-crocker-id-adoption-05.txt> (Creating an IETF Working Group Draft) to Informational RFC

2014-01-03 09:36:17
The document is in pretty good shape and looks pretty ready for
publication. Note that in the "NOTE" at the top of section 3, at the
beginning of the fourth line, the word "authors" is missing.

Also, the draft uses the older convention of "Network Working Group"
at the top of the boilerplate. If there was ever a draft that should
use the newer convention of "Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)"
instead, this one probably qualifies.

Cheers,
Andy

Abstract


   The productive output of an IETF working group is documents, as
   mandated by the working group's charter.  When a working group is
   ready to develop a particular document, the most common mechanism is
   for it to "adopt" an existing document as a starting point.  The
   document that a working group adopts and then develops further is
   based on initial input at varying levels of maturity.  An initial
   working group draft might be a document already in wide use, or it
   might be a blank sheet, wholly created by the working group, or it
   might represent any level of maturity in between.  This document
   discusses how a working group typically handles the formal documents
   that it targets for publication.
