I've talked to Barbara about CCing issues - it seems that we don't have
documented procedures on a couple of things, and that some things have
been done on a "time available" basis, which is nice when it works, but
not nice when people depend on a procedure that only works part of the time.
So what we will do is:
- The internet-draft submission folks will NOT send any notifications
except to i-d-announce about new I-Ds. They have tried to be helpful in
teh past, but don't have time in the crunch, so it's better to be consistent.
- The Last Calls have traditionally not been CCed to WG mailing lists,
while Protocol Actions have been. This doesn't make sense. WG mailing
lists will be added to the Last Calls.
Note: Due to the way the I-D tracker generates Last Calls, the changeover
may be gradual. Don't expect consistency this week!
- Requests to publish have traditionally been replied to only to the
submitter. The secretariat will be switching the I-D submission into RT,
and we'll see whether it's easy to automate sending responses to people
CCed on the request too - if they can't do it efficiently and
consistently, they shouldn't do it at all.
That's today's positon - does this make sense to people?
