A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

                          IETF Reviewers (SIRS)

IETF specifications do not receive formal review until
they are submitted to the IESG. Hence, significant
problems with a specification often are not detected
until considerable effort has been wasted and changes
to fix the problems are difficult to add. The procedure
described in this document is intended to solve, or
palliate, a number of related problems that have been
observed in the IETF process. The basic model is to
create a team of Senior IETF Reviewers (SIRS), and have
all documents receive a certain number of reviews by
SIRs, prior to being submitted for publication. Review
at a very early stage is strongly encouraged.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
