Hi folk, A couple of recent drafts have reached "late stages" with six or more names on the front page.
The RFC editor has indicated that five is the reasonable maximum, and the IESG asks that we stick to that apart from in exceptional circumstances. That means that when we do the Shepherd Write-up we have to include a justification if you want more names on the front page. If you don't give us that justification, then you are going to have to sort out the front page before the draft progresses. I know that this can be painful and disappointing, but if you don't do it or provide a good reason, then the chairs will just have to do it for you. I suspect you would prefer the smaller pain to the radical solution we might provide. So please get on top of this small piece of administrivia. A useful tool for you would be to never add the sixth name in the first place. That is easily and completely under your control and will make any later decisions easier. Thanks, Adrian _______________________________________________ Pce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/pce
