As you may have seen, there has been a group formed of developers, to standardize the AFS protocols. As one of the co-chairs, I am writing to you to get your options on our process and how these drafts can be moved forwardas Independent Submissions.
A history of AFS can be found at: http://openafs.org A number of independent interoperable implementations of AFS have been developed over the years and for a number of reasons, using the IETF Independent Submissions track has been deemed to be the way to go. The foundations of the process and the group can be found in: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-wilkinson-afs3-standardisation-01.txt Many of the members of the group are current or former IETF WG chairs and are familiar with the general IETF submission process, but not with the Independent Submissions. So I am contacting you, the IS editor, to get you option on the process and if we are doing what would be expected. All of the drafts have -afs3- in the name. This first draft has been submitted as Informational and has passed a last call on the mailing list: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-brashear-afs3-pts-extended-names-09.txt These have been submitted but and are being considered by the group: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-deason-afs3-getsizev2-02.txt http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-deason-afs3-type-time-00.txt http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-keiser-afs3-xdr-union-00.txt http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-tkeiser-afs3-volser-tlv-04.txt http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-wilkinson-afs3-bos-identities-00.txt Our group is based on: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-wilkinson-afs3-standardisation-01.txt So we would like to know if these look acceptable as Independent Submissions and what we should be doing with the first one of these, draft-brashear-afs3-pts-extended-names-09.
