Hi Paul, Thanks for your patience as we work to understand how authors will use GitHub and tune our procedures accordingly.
All of the comments with [rfced] in in-notes/authors/rfc9920.md were added as issues in the GitHub repo. We removed them from the .md file in GitHub to provide a better diff as we assumed authors would review the changes in GitHub. We posted the usual AUTH48 files in case we need to fall back to the email-based process for any reason. Is the full diff in GitHub (using the arrows to expand the file) helpful to you? Link to the diff: https://github.com/rfc-editor/AUTH48-rfc9920/pull/1/changes. Or would it be easier for you if we remove the comments in in-notes/authors/rfc9920.md and create a new diff file at in-notes/authors/rfc9920-md-rfcdiff.html? For the issues in GitHub, if you comment “okay”, “no change needed”, or similar, we will close that issue. If a change is needed for a certain issue, you can note that in the comments or add a PR. Please let us know if you have any further questions or suggestions!
