The process is documented and essentially involves reviewing the
case materials for confidential or NDA content.  It would not be
good to publish something that was provided to Sun by a third
party under NDA or in confidence.

For CIFS, I will do the initial pass and and send my recommendation
to the case sponsor.  If modifications are required, I'll make
the changes and provide updated materials to the case sponsor.
Sun legal involvement would only be required if some license related
question arises.  I am not currently aware of any such issue related
to CIFS but I will review the materials to make sure.

All of the CIFS/SMB, NetBIOS and DCE RPC/MSRPC etc protocol information
the team used is available on the Internet, and the architectural
diagram is available in the slide presentation on the project page.
The original CIFS case included the fast-tracks that are listed in
the slide presentation but these were split off and processed as open
cases.  So there probably isn't much in the case materials that isn't
already publicly available.
