Technical Summary
The work of the IETF is to discuss, develop, and disseminate
technical specifications to support the Internet's operation.
Technical publication is the process by which that output is
disseminated to the community at large. As such, it is important to
understand the requirements on the publication process.
BOF Summary
There was healthy debate in two BOFs and the associated
mailing list. The requirements represent the rough consensus
of that debate as judged by the authors, advised by the
IAB Chair and General Area Director. A significant number
of changes and clarifications were made as a result of
IETF Last Call and IESG comments.
