Re: Framework for IAHC proposals

[Dave Crocker <dcrocker@imc.org>]

Folks,

	The 'framework' document
<http://www.iahc.org/draft-iahc-framework.html> language about submissions
was too cryptic and implied more rigidity than was intended.  I've posted a
revised version of the page with the relevant text now reading:

>Written proposals should be sent to iahc-submit@iahc.org no later than
>Dec 1, 1996. The IAHC will publish a single merged proposal on Dec 19th
>for review by the Internet community.
>
>It is preferable to have submissions conform to the standard format for
>Internet-Drafts appropriate to the IETF, although conformance is not
>required. Details about IETF activities, documents and instructions are
>available at http://www.ietf.org
>
>For naming submissions, please use the string
>DRAFT-IAHC-author-name-##.txt, where "author" is the last name of the
>author or a one-word name for the originating organization and "name"
>provides a descriptive term for the contents of the document. "##" is a
>version serial number, beginning with 00. It is strongly urged that

	Please note that the IAHC proposal announcement date is moved from
December 15 to December 19.  Given the activities of IETF week and the fact
that the 15th is a Sunday, most folks on the committee felt that pushing
the date later a few days was necessary to give more time for synthesis and
production of the proposal.

	Notice that I said "more" time and not "enough" time.  The time
frames are so short, none of us really believes that it's "enough" time...
