The IETF and the ICANN PSO remaining time Discussion on the latest version of the PSO bylaws draft-ietf-poisson-pso-bl-02.txt Discussion on appointments draft draft-ietf-poisson-appts-01.txt ad RFC-series: POISSON/POISED ahs several times in its history debated two issues in relation to the RFC series the actual format 9currently ASCII) and the lack of transparancy (i.e. difficult to distinguish IETF Standards work from IETF informational RFCs from anyones informational RFCs). As a result of the discussions on the latter issue the RFC-editor has worked on improving the Web interface to the RFC series. The result is visible at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/ Another initiative in this area worth mentioning is the NORMOS project: http://www.normos.org/ More recently Marshall Rose and Carl Malamud have taken the initiative to solve both problems in one go. They created a Web site (http://memory.palace.org/) and use XML to format RFCs. They also provide tools and guidelines for RFC authors to use XML (see also: draft-mrose-writing-rfcs-00.txt) These new developments (certainly the latter) require that POISSON revisit the subject yet again, if only to see whther we need to put this on our charter or not.
