Since [RFC2223bis] is a normative reference, this means that the draft
as is could not be published as an RFC until after [RFC2223bis] appears
as an RFC.  If this is the intent, then I think the sentence should be
changed to:

>   particular Internet Draft for publication.  The process is described
>   in more detail in [RFC2223bis].

If it is not the intent, then I think the sentence should be changed to:

>   particular Internet Draft for publication.  The process is described
>   in more detail in [RFC2223] and its successors.
