The author has agreed to add a note saying: Translations of versions of the Tao are made into other languages from time to time. These do not represent IETF consensus and are provided on an "as is" basis. The issue of how translations are recorded, made available, cross-referenced to versions of the Tao, and archived is outside the scope of this document and for future study. --- Unclear to me why the document needs to limit the edit team to exactly one person for all time. Suggest "one or more people as designated by the IESG"

My four points are not really a DISCUSS, but I really would like to see it addressed, or at least discussed
1. This document has two parts, a correctly explained in the Introduction section.
- it explains that the "Tao of the IETF", which has been published as a series of RFCs in the past, is now published as a web page.
-. it explains the new procedure. "This document contains the procedure agreed to by the IESG"
My issue is: The abstract only contains the first part 1.
Here is a proposal:
OLD
This document describes how the "Tao of the IETF", which has been
published as a series of RFCs in the past, will instead be published
as a web page.
NEW
This document describes how the "Tao of the IETF", which has been
published as a series of RFCs in the past, is instead published
as a web page. Furthermore, this document contains the procedure for
publishing and editing the Tao
2. Why do you always use the future tense in the draft?
- "This document describes how the "Tao of the IETF", which has been
published as a series of RFCs in the past, will instead be published
as a web page."
- "The Tao will be published at <http://www.ietf.org/tao.html>" (note: it's done right in the security considerations section
- etc...
Specifically for the section 2, the procedure should really use the present tense.
OLD:
The Tao will be edited by one person who is chosen by the IESG.
NEW
The Tao is edited by one person who is chosen by the IESG.
3. I would make sense to set up the mailing in advance and mentioned it in draft
The Tao will be edited by one person who is chosen by the IESG.
Suggestions for changes to the Tao will be discussed on an open, Tao-
specific mailing list.
4.
Each version of the Tao will have a visible timestamp near the
beginning of the document. All published versions will be archived
using URLs of the form
<http://www.ietf.org/tao-archive/tao-YYYYMMDD.html>.
If there is right now http://www.ietf.org/tao-archive/tao-20120713.html, how do I know the date of the previous version?
I guess that the http://www.ietf.org/tao-archive/ directory will list all the entries, right?
If this is the case, please mention it in the draft
