Re: [GROW] Private IP in SP cores

[Tony Kirkham]

Tom, Thanks for the detailed reply. I'm just new to the group and unfamiliar with the processes. I had only sent the doc to the GROW email alias, so this is why you will probably not find it elsewhere. I will look over the information you have provided below. But if you could point me towards where I need to submit the draft, I would appreciate it. Regards Tony K tom.petch wrote: Tony Sorry that I am being cranky again. The practice I am used to is seeing the announcement of an I-D (direct from the ietfid list, or forwarded by the author to the WG list) and then retrieving the document from one of the databases. I haven't seen the announcement, nor can I find the document in the usual places:-( If you forwarded the document to the list, well, as you may recall, I am not a fan of big e-mails (but I am a fan of WG chairs who moderate lists with a size limit of 40kbyte:-) so anything over 40kbyte may well have been junked as spam if I were busy. I have not seen the document yet but will read it when I do. I am sorry you had difficulties with XML. I would be happy to assist with that if you need to know more. Reading between the lines, I suspect that you may be unfamiliar with the format rules for RFC and I-D, which require certain sections and certain text. Sadly, this information is widely scattered. The RFC Editor, through whom everything ultimately passes, has their own web site, with their own rules, containing variously Instructions to RFC Authors, or Editorial Policies or RFC Document Style. There is an out-of-date RFC, RFC2223, attempts to update which stalled, although RFC5741 is a good read. I-Ds are a bit more flexible and recently the IESG produced 'Guidelines to Authors of Internet-Drafts', which is probably the best starting point. The document is called '1id-guidelines.txt' ( why not?) which is of course not on the RFC Editor's web site because it is not a production of the RFC Editor. Rather, it appears in the IESG web pages. It may take a day to become familiar with this, but is worth it to get an RFC published (well, I think so:-). Xml2rfc; ah yes, the options available and which to choose appeared in an e-mail to the IETF list some months ago, which I always manage to find when I need to. This is a tool, and so not connected to the RFC Editor, the IESG or almost anyone else. I assume that you have found it on the right web page, something I always struggle to do. The trick then is to always use the 'T' version, never the production version, since the latter will produce boiler plate that is unacceptable to the submission tool. Finally, there is a blackout on I-D in the run up to an IETF meeting, which we are now in, which may be why I can find neither announcement nor document.

I had several fights with the RFC XML to txt converter. It forced the inclusion of 'security considerations' and 'normative references'. I'm not sure these were part of the natural flow but are included because I basically 'had no choice'. I realise some of the formating will need some extra work. I'm no expert in XML, so it was a learn on the fly type experience. In particular, I know the references need some more work. However, before I put any more time into this, I wanted to be confident that the material is useful and has some chance of being published. So a review would be greatly appreciated.
