Re: [RAI] I-D's of former Sipping/Sip WG's

["DRAGE, Keith (Keith)" <drage at alcatel-lucent.com>]

If you notice, it does pick up some transitions, e.g. if draft-smith-sipping... became draft-ietf-sipping... 

I believe this is based on the information in the draft tracker database, which is administered by the IESG secretary, and this information is manually input by them.

regards

Keith
