In my own view, the criteria for publishing ideas from any IRTF RG is simply that the ideas are clearly/readably expressed. There is value in publishing controversial research ideas within the context of a Research Group. So controversy about the ideas in the document does not seem like a very good reason not to publish. I also don't think ideas even need to be sufficiently detailed to be implementable in order for those ideas to be published by an IRTF RG. Sorting out interoperability and implementation details is the kind of thing the IETF is quite good at, should some proposal(s) later decide to persue the IETF track. Further, the IRTF never produces standards-track documents. As an RG Chair has noted previously on this list, the criteria for RG publication as "IRTF Experimental RFC" are quite different (and are MUCH easier to satisfy, IMHO) from the IETF's criteria for WG publication of an RFC. >From <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rrg/current/msg07228.html>: > Not required if you're going down the experimental path. > It only needs to pass the laugh test. and from <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rrg/current/msg07230.html> > That may be what you want, but is not necessarily a requirement. My only current request is editorial. Both in the Abstract and also early in the Introduction of your document, please make clear that your work is not related to the (perhaps better known) Host Identity Protocol (HIP) work. This is purely to make the difference between the ideas/proposal very crisp and clear, since they share extremely similar acronyms ("hip" in both cases).
