An implementation survey is likely still required. Whether it would be required to be published as an RFC is an open question. The IESG has been moving away from certain "process" documents needing to be published as an RFC; for example, use case documents and problem statements. > The example I have in mind is with LDP progressing to Draft Standard. > The survey form has been issued in August 2002, and RFCs 5036 (LDP as a Draft > Standard) and 5038 (2002 Survey results) have been only published in 2007, so > it took quite some time:-). > > I know that IETYF tries to speed up the process - but does this mean that we > can now skip the formalities of Implementation Survey? The stage of Draft standard was removed by RFC 6410. Even with this reduction in process, very few RFCs have looked for a status increase. -- Jeff
