Mankin May 10, 2006 Requirements on I-D Tracker Extensions for IAB and IRTF Document Shepherds draft-ietf-proto-iab-irtf-tracker-ext-00 Status of this Memo By submitting this Internet-Draft, each author represents that any applicable patent or other IPR claims of which he or she is aware have been or will be disclosed, and any of which he or she becomes aware will be disclosed, in accordance with Section 6 of BCP 79. Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet- Drafts. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress." The list of current Internet-Drafts can be accessed at http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-abstracts.txt. The list of Internet-Draft Shadow Directories can be accessed at http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html.

Abstract This document describes the states which need to be added to the I-D tracker to make it possible for IAB and IRTF document shepherds (whoever the IAB and IRTF designate, e.g. the IAB Chair, RG Chairs) to update the I-D tracker during document shepherding. It is a companion document of draft-proto-wgchair-tracker-ext which describes additional additional requirements for the chairs to use the I-D tracker for managing WG documents from their earliest stages. Levkowetz & Mankin Expires November 11, 2006 [Page 1] Internet-Draft IAB and IRTF Tracker Requirements May 2006 1. Introduction In order to make it possible for IAB and IRTF document shepherds to do the full duties of shepherding it is necessary for them to be able to enter document state changes and issue resolutions into the I-D tracker. At the time of writing, only area directors have the necessary write access to the tracker. The requirements for providing sufficient write access to document shepherds in general, and the new states needed for working group chairs acting as shepherds in particular are described in draft-proto-wgchair-tracker-ext. This document describes the additional tracker states which are specific to the IAB and the IRTF document flow. 1.1. Terminology In this document, several words are used to signify the requirements of the specification. These words are often capitalised. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. The requirements in this document are specified using a set of requirements. These requirements are English phrases ending with an "(R-nnn)" indication, where "nnn" is a unique requirement number. 2. New Document States In order to be able to provide appropriate document state indications for documents which are IAB documents or IRTF documents and have not yet been submitted for publication as RFC, additional states are needed in the tracker. These are described in the following sections. 2.1. IAB Document States The following states and sub-states should be added to the tracker, for use for IAB documents. * Active IAB Document This document is being actively worked at by the IAB Possible next states: "Parked IAB Document", "Dead" Permitted sub-states: (R-00a) Levkowetz & Mankin Expires November 11, 2006 [Page 2] Internet-Draft IAB and IRTF Tracker Requirements May 2006 * Parked IAB Document This document has lost its author or editor, is waiting for another document to be written, or cannot currently be worked on by the working group for some other reason. Possible next states: "Active IAB Document", "Dead" Permitted sub-states: "Need Editor", "Waiting for Dependency Document", "Other Problem - see comment log" (R-00b) * In IAB Internal Last Call An IAB internal last call has been issued for this document. Possible next states: "Active IAB Document", "Parked IAB Document", "In IAB Community Review", "Dead" Permitted sub-states: "1st", "2nd", "3rd", "4th", "5th", "6th", "7th", "8th", "9th", "Revised ID Needed". (R-00c) * In IAB Community Review An IAB "Impending publication" message has been issued as a community last call for this document. "Active IAB Document", "Parked IAB Document", "RFC Ed Queue", "Dead" (R-00d) 2.2. IRTF Document States The following states and sub-states should be added to the tracker, for use for IRTF documents. * Active RG Document This document has been adopted by a research group, and is being actively developed. Possible next states: "Parked RG Document", "Dead" Permitted sub-states: (R-00e) * Parked RG Document This document has lost its author or editor, is waiting for another document to be written, or cannot currently be worked on by the working group for some other reason. Levkowetz & Mankin Expires November 11, 2006 [Page 3] Internet-Draft IAB and IRTF Tracker Requirements May 2006 Possible next states: "Active RG Document", "Dead" Permitted sub-states: "Need Editor", "Waiting for Dependency Document", "Other Problem - see comment log" (R-00f) * In RG Last Call A RG last call has been issued for this document. Possible next states: "Active RG Document", "Parked RG Document", "Publication Requested", "Dead" Permitted sub-states: "1st", "2nd", "3rd", "4th", "5th", "6th", "7th", "8th", "9th". (R-00g) * IRSG Evaluation The document has been submitted for reviews by the IRSG prior to publication Possible next states: "RFC Ed Queue", "Active RG Document", "Dead" Permitted sub-states: none are envisioned due the the IRSG use of its own tracker. (R-00h) 3. IANA considerations This document does not require any new number assignments from IANA, and does not define any new numbering spaces to be administered by IANA. RFC-Editor: Please remove this section before publication. 4. Security Considerations This document does not propose any new internet mechanisms, and has no security implications for the internet. 5.
