Eric and I have put together a very short draft making a very small 
update to RFC 2026.   If the chairs consider it useful, I would be happy 
to stand up for a few minutes to explain why we are proposing this and 
answer questions.

Thank you,
Joel

Abstract:
    This document proposes that the IETF never publish any IEtF stream
    RFCs without IETF rough consensus.  This updates RFC 2026.


The IETF datatracker status page for this draft is:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-halpern-gendispatch-consensusinformational/

There are also htmlized versions available at:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-halpern-gendispatch-consensusinformational-00
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-halpern-gendispatch-consensusinformational-00


Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP at:

That seems like a perfectly good item for the agenda. Consider it added.

Hi,

First a major nit: I-D expiry is mandated by RFC2026:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2026#section-6.1.2
The mention in RFC2418 is incidental.

Then:

> Forced expiration serves no purpose that is not adequately served by
> the publication date on the document.

A date of publication alone does not communicate that a draft is
a draft and that, as BCP9 says:

>       *   Under no circumstances should an Internet-Draft    *
>       *   be referenced by any paper, report, or Request-    *
>       *   for-Proposal, nor should a vendor claim compliance *
>       *   with an Internet-Draft.                            *

While the choice of 6 months might seem arbitary, the defined
date of expiry IMHO helps to communicate to readers that
a draft is only a draft. And it also acts as a signal that
there might be a lack of momentum behind a proposal, if a
draft has expired without being updated.

Regards
   Brian

Given that Martin isn't subscribed to the gendispatch list, I expect 
he'll need to be Cc'ed to see this. I have now done so.

Martin, shall I take this to mean that you'd like agenda time in 
Singapore?

1.

Yes. I think that's become the de facto practice, and it certainly seems
correct.

2. Do we want to start a trend of small updates for single items in
RFC2026, or do we want to start a wider effort? I ask because, if we do
start publishing one-sentence fixes like this one, there are liable
to be a lot of them.

Regards

Sure, and thanks Pete.  I thought that I was already subscribed.  An error on my part.

Section 6.1.2 talks about standards actions, duration of last calls, etc..  I couldn't find a single mention of draft expiration.

Section 6.1.1 says:

> It shall remain as an Internet-Draft for a period of time, not less than two weeks, [...]

Which I guess could be read to infer an expiry time.  If so, then I guess that this *could* update that too.  It's a little too oblique to bother with.  That period of time could be interpreted as "until the IETF is no more", without invalidating 2026 at all.

Is it not sufficient for the draft to indicate that it is a draft?  I'm not proposing that we remove that notice.

My stupid error, sorry. Try https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2026#section-2.2:

   An Internet-Draft that is published as an RFC, or that has remained
   unchanged in the Internet-Drafts directory for more than six months
   without being recommended by the IESG for publication as an RFC, is
   simply removed from the Internet-Drafts directory. 

That's where the expiry thing originated.

Well, one of our chronic problems is that nobody reads the boilerplate anyway. Either way, I still like the expiry date but of course we need more than just your and my opinion.

Ahh, I somehow managed to miss that in multiple searches.  Yes, that is an oversight.

Sure.  I appreciate that.  Maybe having a few minutes to discuss this will help us decide whether or not holding to our positions is worthwhile.

BTW, part of my motivation is a (small) reduction in the size of the boilerplate.  I can probably find more aggressive edits if people were amenable to further changes.  "THIS IS A DRAFT" might be small enough to be noticed.  But I wanted to test the waters more than anything else.

I like the expiry date also.   At the very least it helps people see, to 
a rough approximation, which internet-drafts are being maintained and 
which are not.

I also think that if one is searching for a particular (current) I-D, 
the default search results shouldn't be flooded with drafts that are 
arbitrarily old.  But maybe that's the only purpose that an expiry date 
serves any more.    If a WG wants to adopt a draft that's > 6 months 
old, I don't see why they shouldn't do so.

Maybe I don't understand the question.   As I see it, since we stopped 
actually making drafts inaccessible after six months, six months became 
just a convention for whether a draft is being actively maintained and 
for whether it's reported in default search results.   I think it's a 
useful convention for those purposes, but one could certainly implement 
it without actually having (for example) separate repositories.

On the other hand, if the only change you're proposing is to remove one 
line from the I-D header (and associated metadata) and change the 
boilerplate, I frankly don't think it's worth the expenditure of energy 
on the part of IETF, IESG, RFC editor, tools team, etc., that would be 
required to do that.   There doesn't seem to be an obvious benefit to 
justify doing that work, and it sort of looks like change for the sake 
of change.  (otherwise known as "action bias").   The -00 I-D also 
leaves unstated whether there's any significance at all to the six month 
figure and that seems like an undesirable ambiguity.

That doesn't come free. I don't see the alleged harm done by the expiry date as serious enough to be worth fixing (for real $$). In particular, this from earlier discussion:

Well, it's not really *wrong* - it's more of a reminder that the IETF is really slow in progressing its work sometimes.

I don't see an inconsistency; the boilerplate is a summary. BTW that
text is in RFC 2026, not 2418.
 
> Also the wording "updated, replaced, or obsoleted" can easily be confused with the terminology "updates" and "obsoletes" that are used for RFCs. 

Huh? They are perfectly valid words with the same meaning in both cases.

I talked to stream managers and RSE.  From those people acting as stream managers, there was no reason to object to a change like this.  That said, as individuals, those same people expressed sentiments ranging from "doesn't matter at all" to "terrible idea".

I'm going to ask for wider feedback (IRSG, IAB, and ISEB in particular), but believe that it is appropriate for the IETF to make this decision.  As ekr observed, the boilerplate clearly identifies drafts as working documents of the IETF, even when they are clearly intended for IRTF discussion, IAB program input, or submitted for independent submission.

The draft needs a minor revision anyway; I intend to do that prior to asking for feedback.

Thinking the issues through since the meeting, I think this could
potentially save a huge amount of time at all levels in the IETF.

The question that came to me on the plane back was 'how many documents have
to be put through IETF process purely to stop them expiring?'

Steve Crocker's original concept for the RFC series was that it would be a
kitchen sink of rough thoughts and design sketches capturing as much
information as possible. But RFCs started tracking operational details such
as port assignments and link info which required editorial consideration.
The tensions between these two notions had led to the IEN series being spun
out in 1977 as an attempt to separate the streams. Publication of RFC821/2
kind of put paid to the 'design sketch' as a sustainable notion. RFC became
a brand. The EIN series was discontinued as Jon did not want to edit two
different streams.

We can argue about the history if people must. But my main point here is
that the Internet has completely changed our concept of publication since.
Back in the 1980s, the concept of publication was embedded in a set of
cultural values that I and others of my generation understand but are
completely alien to the youngsters. They are natives to this land we have
created, we are the immigrants.


The biggest objection made to ending expiry of IDs was that it might lead
to a reduction in draft quality as people might not bother submitting their
drafts for processing by IESG etc.

Is that really an objection though? Reducing the number of drafts the IESG
is required to read could be the ideal outcome if it is the right drafts
that are dropped.

It is my belief that design considerations have no place in a normative
document. They result in confusion and ambiguity. See: 'A well regulated
militia'. It is important to capture use cases and requirements but they
should not be presented in a normative document.

Test vectors are another tricky area. When writing code, the more test
vectors I have, the better. But unless the IESG are going to implement the
spec and run the test vectors for themselves, they are really not going to
be able to review them.

I believe that there is a wealth of supporting material that could be
captured in the IETF process that really has no need of a document shepherd
or IETF review.


Of course, there is always the risk that someone might try to pass off an
ID as an IETF standard because that is already happening. If this is a
concern, we should have a rule that only drafts accepted as AD Sponsored or
WG drafts can be listed as 'Standards Track'.

But that really doesn't worry me very much because the only standards that
matter are the ones people use. There are plenty of IETF standards that
have been published as RFCs that have died the death and there are plenty
of folk out there on the net who have found that a project has morphed into
a de-facto standard that they do not have either the means or the
motivation to maintain.

Consider what might have happened if one of the early markdown efforts had
been written up and published as a permanent Internet draft early on. It
might not have prevented the needless proliferation of markdown schemes but
it would have allowed those people who wanted to try to avoid divergence to
do so. So what some people are presenting as nightmare scenario looks more
like a beneficial situation to me. The document author gets to hand off
change control. The IETF gets the option to take it up should it choose to
do so.

Steve Crocker&#39;s original concept for the RFC series was that it would b=

None. Since expired documents are available for ever, there is absolutely no point in "refreshing" a draft with no changes except the date. People do so, but I'm not sure why. I quite often cite https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-carpenter-aeiou-00 when people propose alternatives to IPv6, as an example of a failed solution.

As a working group chair, I do expect the editors of WG drafts to 
refresh them.  This tells me that they are continuing to participate, 
and I do not need to find a new editor (or, conversely, that I do need 
to find a new editor.)  Yes, I could set calendar reminders and send 
email of my own.  For WG drafts, I think the expiration is useful to 
help folks get a more accurate image from the WG page.

Yours,
Joel

Joel,

To be clear, I'm in favour of applying "ain't broke, don't fix" to this.
I agree that 6 months of inactivity is a useful trigger. However, an update
where *only* the date changes isn't much use, IMHO. It tells you that the
editor is still active, but it adds no value to the draft.

Regards
   Brian

It's been my experience that expired I-Ds are not taken as serious 
proposals; that renewing an I-D even with minor changes provides some 
indication that a draft is still being maintained; and that this is a 
useful if somewhat imprecise metric.

So I'm opposed to eliminating expiration dates on I-Ds.   I think it's 
an example of action bias that requires a significant amount of work to 
accomplish nothing useful.

Keith

p.s. OTOH, if we had the idea to set up some new kind of document that 
is a living document, subject to continuous modification, but with a 
mechanism to take snapshots and cite them, I might be in favor of 
that.   Even better would be if such documents were editable via an 
etherpad-like mechanism, and authors/editors never had to deal with xml2rfc.
