Subject: [bmwg] Status and FW: Remember to use latest boilerplate in drafts

From: Al Morton <[email-masked]>

BMWG,

It's time to turn our attention to benchmarking in 2007.

I'd like all document editors to send me their plans for

revised versions as we approach the March meeting.

In general, the current drafts are visible here:

http://tools.ietf.org/wg/bmwg/

We have a few Milestones that are overdue, (Accelerated Stress

and IPsec) and a few key drafts have expired (but aren't dead

by any means).  Other milestones are looming...

We have draft submission deadlines coming up,

February 26, Monday - Internet Draft Cut-off for initial document
(-00) submission by 09:00 ET (14:00 UTC/GMT)

March 5, Monday - Internet Draft final submission cut-off by 09:00 ET
(14:00 UTC/GMT)
and there are mandatory boilerplate changes *now required* (see
below).

Mostly what's needed is review and commentary, so everyone

please pick a WG draft and make some time to read it.

regards,

Al

Subject: Internet-Draft
Boilerplate Reminder

Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2007 11:51:16 -0500

From: IETF Secretariat <[email-masked]>

To: IETF Announcement list <[email-masked]>

CC: [email-masked]

This message is to remind you that as of February 1, 2007 the IETF

Secretariat will no longer accept Internet-Drafts with the old

(i.e. pre RFC 4748) boilerplate.  For your convenience, below is

the text of the message that was sent to the IETF Announcement

List by the IETF Chair on October 26, 2006 with Subject: Update to

Internet Draft and RFC Boilerplate.

The IETF Secretariat.

--------------------------------------------------------------

A small update to BCP 78 was recently approved by the IESG as RFC 4748,

to update the boilerplate (i.e., standard legal text) in RFCs and

Internet-Drafts to recognize the IETF Trust as a rights holder,

instead of ISOC.

The actual boilerplate changes are given below this message.

Starting as soon as reasonably possible, all authors of Internet-Drafts

are requested to use the new boilerplate. The RFC Editor will in any

case be inserting it in all RFCs issued from 2006-11-01. (The rights

held by ISOC in older RFCs will be administratively transferred to

the IETF Trust.)

The public ID Nits checker already accepts I-Ds with old or new

boilerplate. The Secretariat has started accepting I-Ds with old or

new boilerplate.

XML2RFC version 1.32 will generate the new boilerplate.

Users of I-D templates are requested to update them
appropriately.

http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html and

http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.html are being
updated.

Starting December, the public ID Nits checker will issue warnings for
old

boilerplate.

Starting February 2007, the Secretariat will refuse the old
boilerplate

in Internet-Drafts.

We are sorry for the inconvenience, but this change cannot be
avoided.
