One more note, as this is a General Area Review, is the background: GenART is the Area Review Team for the General Area of the IETF.
We advise the General Area Director (i.e. the IETF/IESG chair) by providing more in depth reviews than he could do himself of documents that come up for final decision in IESG telechat. I was selected as the GenART member to review this document. Below is my review, which was written specifically with an eye to the GenART process, but since I believe that it will be useful to have these comments more widely distributed, others outside the GenART group are included. Review criteria for WG submissions: "Is this document a reasonable contribution to the area of Internet engineering which it covers? If not, what changes would make it so?" thanks, John >-----Original Message----- >From: ext Alexey Melnikov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: 27 October, 2005 12:14 >To: Loughney John (Nokia-NRC/Helsinki) >Cc: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: review of draft-ietf-sieve-variables-07.txt > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >>A quick gen-art review. >> >>One line summary: "Ready, with one nit." >> >>The nit is: >> >>In the 1st page header, it says: "Updates: 3028" >> >> In the Meta-info section, it says: >> >> This draft is intended to be an extension to the Sieve >mail filtering >> language, available from the RFC repository as >> <ftp://ftp.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3028.txt>. >> >>--> shouldn't say what it updates (section numbers, etc.)? >> >RFC 3028 doesn't allow for variables.
