[INDEP] discussion openers

Okay, having confirmed the list is alive & well, I posted
the announcement of it to the IETF-announce list today (copied
below).

Note that there is an input document for discussion:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-klensin-rfc-independent-02.txt

and I understand that some comments on that draft are
slated to head to this mailing list shortly.

The IAB has undertaken to work towards community consensus on
this matter, and so IAB member Olaf Kolkman has kindly volunteered
to act as the moderator/functional equivalent of a "WG chair" for this
discussion (olaf@nlnetlabs.nl).

Thanks,
Leslie.

As part its role in supporting the RFC Editor function, the Internet
Architecture Board (IAB) has created a public mailing list for the 
discussion of
the RFC Independent Submissions process.

The purpose of this discussion is to achieve consensus, in the coming 
weeks, on
a process for fair and appropriate approval of independent submissions 
to the
RFC series.  These are separate from IETF, IAB or IRTF approved 
submissions.

Individuals familiar with the RFC series and working in the Internet 
research
and engineering community are invited to join this mailing list and 
participate.

There is an initial draft proposal, available at

Leslie Daigle,
Chair, IAB.
