We actually also had one on Security as well, which the IETF secretariat
refused to list under IPP, because it was not in the Charter, but I have
been over the details about that with Keith earlier.
>None of these have been updated since Memphis.
You are right, but we have now had sufficiently much discussion and
technical contributions for the editors to be able to pull it all together
in a series of new drafts. I only wanted to make sure that we have
agreement about which documents to produce and make sure that a list of
them get into an updated version of the IPP Charter so that we do not run
into the same hassle as we had before Memphis. We expect to have a new set
of I-Ds ready for IETF publication within the next 2 - 3 weeks.

I will bear that in mind, but we are to some extent talking hen and egg here.

You may not be following our list and archive, but note that most
everything is now supplied in both TXT and PDF formats, both in the FTP
archive and on our IPP web pages.

I knew that you would not be happy about this, but it seems to be where the
majority of the list members are taking us.

I will try to write up the rationale properly before calling for an
official IETF consensus on this.
Believe or not, I think we are making significant progress.
