To some extent this thread has been ducking the question that lies behind it.
What is an author, in the IETF context? There's no short answer, so here's
a draft of a long answer. If people think it's useful, I can author an
I-D about it...
I've been working on an RSE statement to provide some guidance here. I
would rather not see room for diverging direction from the different
document streams, and an IETF-specific definition would likely take us
in that direction.
(I know you know about the draft statement, Brian, but I thought giving
others a heads' up given the topic seemed like a good idea.)
Of course. I would expect any guidelines and habits in the IETF to fit
within the general guidance that applies to all RFCs, in a way consistent
with the IETF process in general.
