Forwarded email in relation to ICCRG work:

Please forward if you think it is appropriate,,
Authors,
Layout/per RFC question,
Can I suggest a different per RFC layout.
In my opinion, each RFC listing item should include the type of
RFC,
the date, the first author, and then the abstract. To give a
different summary than the abstract is inconsistent to what was
initially published for the RFC and may change the meaning of
the abstract than what the authors intended.
If the abstract is missing, then I could agree that a substitute
description be given in this doc. If the abstract is "too long"
or missing, I would think that a shortened version in this
document with a preword that this doc may contain a shortened
abstract, new, or different of the mentioned of the RFC and that
has been approved by the RFC authors.
