Nobody suggested that.

I said that it would be useful to be able to use a standard issue  
word processor to write drafts. As I explained in a subsequent  
message, what I meant by that is any word processor that can generate  
a document with styles. Word is one of those word processors, but  
certainly not the only one, and you'll never hear me recommend Word

RE: XML2RFC must die, was: Re: Two different threads - IETF Document Format

2009-07-09 Thread Yaakov Stein
Patrik,

 Problem with LaTeX and TeX is the need for class libraries, 

How is that different from needing the latest tcl code for xml2rfc ?

 and the lack of agreed upon way of distributing a 
 LaTeX/TeX file with the class files needed (part from what is standard), 
 or lack of automatic tools that include needed things from the class files to 
 the source file.

Still nowhere near the combination of opaque processing instructions needed for 
xml2rfc.

Something like \documentclass[std,trust200902]{RFC} at the top of the file
is all that would be needed.

Panel at IETF 75 -- Securing the DNS: Towards a more secure Internet

2009-07-09 Thread Russ Housley

Dear colleagues:

Following the success of the Internet Society's IPv6 panel held at 
the IETF 74 venue, I want to make you aware of panel event to be held 
during the IETF 75 week in Stockholm, Sweden:


Securing the DNS: Towards a more secure Internet
  11:45am - 12:45pm (UTC+2), Tuesday 28 July
  Clarion Sign Hotel, Stockholm, Sweden (opposite the IETF 75 venue)
  Light lunch provided; registration is free

The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the critical operational 
elements of the Internet, creating a human environment that allows 
names to be mapped to host addresses across the Internet. But the DNS 
was established with no inherent security mechanisms, making it 
vulnerable to certain malicious activities, such as DNS spoofing, 
where attackers make false assertions about DNS data in order to 
misdirect traffic to unwanted sites.


Efforts are underway on several fronts, developing better Internet 
security technologies and practices through open standards 
development and the collaborative work of developers, operators, and 
industry. One key effort is DNSSEC (short for DNS Security 
Extensions) - a set of open standards developed to authenticate DNS 
data using public key infrastructure to digitally sign DNS records, 
providing a high level of security to core transactions. It does not 
solve all online security issues, but it is an important step towards 
a more secure online experience.


Leaders from across the Internet community are actively engaged in 
work to drive the broad deployment of DNSSEC and other standards for 
continuous improvements in Internet security.


In this session - designed to make these issues accessible to a 
broader audience - the Internet Society's Leslie Daigle will lead a 
distinguished panel of some of the world's leading developers, 
administrators, and operators of Internet infrastructure. What are 
their experiences? What problems have they overcome? And what do they 
see as the next steps towards a more robustly secure Internet?


All are welcome to participate, but seats are limited, so please 
register in advance. More information, including free online registration at:


   http://www.isoc.org/dns

For those unable to attend, an live audiocast will be available - 
check the website above closer to the date for details.

 If
 we had a DTD that worked in other pieces of software, it could be
 converted using commonly available software into text formats.
 
 What is supplied with xml2rfc works fine with other pieces of software,
 per Ned's response.

Perhaps I should email Ned I've tried pulling the DTD into
Dreamweaver several times, with no success. I did email the list once,
and the response I received was along the lines of, if you get that
working, a lot of people would be happy. I never received a response
saying, it works, and this is the way you need to pull the DTD in.

Of course, we might be talking about two different things. You can use
Dreamweaver as a text editor on the DTD, but you can't do the same thing
you do in XMLMind, which is to have the sections set out in the other
editing modes. I can use emacs if I'm going to have to memorize all the
sections, and how to put them together--no need to use Dreamweaver as a
text editor.

As always when this discussion occurs, there are at least three  
different issues swirling around:


1.  ASCII-only vs. UTF-8
2.  Plain text vs. higher-level formatting, for text flow and

3.  Whether it is a good idea to include high-quality pictures in RFCs

There are not the same issue, and it would help combatants on both  
sides not to mix them up.


I admire the attempt to separate these issues into orthogonal  
concerns, but I don't think it can succeed.


The common aspect of all these issues is the question of whether our  
archival format should A) continue to be limited to a string of ASCII  
characters formatted for printing with a fixed-width font, or B) if it  
should be expanded to include a document archival format that can  
preserve font, style and figures.


There is a related but separable topic of discussion once option B) is  
open for debate: what precisely should be the set of primary natural  
languages used in IETF documents?  Should it continue to be English  
only?  I'd very much prefer to see *that* discussion vigorously  
deferred while our archival format continues to be the largest  
practical obstacle to multilingualism.  I believe there are no  
reasonable candidates for archival formats that can preserve font,  
style and figures without also providing for localization.


I don't know where the argument don't help authors prepare I-Ds  
using the tools of their choice, unless they are open-source fits  
into this picture.


Compared to the previous two issues, this one is just not so much  
important.

IETF languages, was: something about RFCs

There are two things that together make it completely impossible to  
adopt more working languages:


1. We don't have any other languages in common than English
2. We don't have the money for translation/interpretation services

Dus als we naast Engels ook andere talen gaan gebruiken betekent dat  
dat de niet-Engelse documenten maar door een deel van de IETF- 
participanten gelezen kan worden, wat natuurlijk niet de bedoeling is.


Or:

So if we start using other languages in addition to English then the  
non-English documents can only be read by part of the IETF- 
participants, which of course defeats the purpose.


Now I'd be very happy to be able to conduct IETF business in Dutch,  
but I'd be very much opposed to having to learn a new language to  
participate in the IETF. It took me long enough to learn English...

My point wasn't to argue that we should consider working in non- 
English languages, but simply to explain why it's reasonable to rule  
that discussion out of scope while we get on with talking about  
archival formats: there is no reason to believe that expanding our  
archival formats would further limit our future options for adopting  
new working languages.  (I'm thinking centuries into the future here.)

Experiment Results: More Meeting Time on Friday

2009-07-09 Thread The IESG
The IESG conducted an experiment during IETF 73 in Minneapolis and
IETF 74 in San Francisco  to increase face-to-face meeting time by
adding two one hour meeting slots on Friday afternoon.  While it is
recognized that these meeting slots are not preferred by anyone, these
meeting slots have been very useful in resolving conflicts between WGs
with overlapping participants. 

The we expect to continue to make use of Friday afternoon meeting slots
in the future.  The Friday schedule will look something like this:

   0900-1130 Morning Session I
   1130-1300 Break
   1300-1400 Afternoon Session I
   1415-1515 Afternoon Session II

Thanks for all you do for the Internet and the IETF.

Datatracker Testing, Duplicate Last Call Announcements

2009-07-09 Thread Glen
All -

There is an ongoing but intermittant problem with the IESG Datatracker
corrupting outgoing announcements.  My initial attempts to apply patches
and wait for the next last calls to go out to see if it worked have failed;
I therefore have no choice now but to go to the brute-force method.

As a result, this list will see some duplicate last-call announcements over
the next few hours, as I repeatedly try to duplicate and resolve this
problem directly.  I'm sorry it's come to this, I really hoped I could fix
the problem without disrupting this list; however, the old code is clearly
so bad that I have no choice but to use high explosives.

I apologize for the upcoming distruption, and beg your indulgence as I apply
a bit more persuasion to the system.

Thank you,

Testing Complete, Normal Operation Resumed

2009-07-09 Thread Glen
All -

Testing of the datatracker has been completed.  Normal operations will now
be resuming.

Message corruption was occurring because of the way the IESG Datatracker was
formatting messages.  The bugs existed at 9 different locations in the code,
which code was of course very old code written years ago, as is well known. 
A previous attempt to fix one problem for one instance exposed additional
problems elsewhere in the code.  But, because of the way the IESG
Datatracker works (specifically that a message is created in advance and
stored for future delivery), subsequent fixes did not appear to work because
the broken code had already been executed and already written the broken
messages into the database... where they were stored for later delivery.

So, at this point, I believe that the code is fixed.  However, because of
the way the database is organized, I have no accurate way to target broken
messages.  As a result, there may be more instances of broken messages until
we get the entire database hand-searched and corrected which will, needless
to say, take time.

Thank you for your patience.

Testing Complete, Normal Operation Resumed

2009-07-09 Thread Glen
All -

Testing of the datatracker has been completed.  Normal operations will now
be resuming.

Message corruption was occurring because of the way the IESG Datatracker was
formatting messages.  The bugs existed at 9 different locations in the code,
which code was of course very old code written years ago, as is well known. 
A previous attempt to fix one problem for one instance exposed additional
problems elsewhere in the code.  But, because of the way the IESG
Datatracker works (specifically that a message is created in advance and
stored for future delivery), subsequent fixes did not appear to work because
the broken code had already been executed and already written the broken
messages into the database... where they were stored for later delivery.

So, at this point, I believe that the code is fixed.  However, because of
the way the database is organized, I have no accurate way to target broken
messages.  As a result, there may be more instances of broken messages until
we get the entire database hand-searched and corrected which will, needless
to say, take time.

Thank you for your patience.
