The documents were adopted, or they were not. In this case, they were not. Hence the current standards need to be complied with, and folks cannot processes this document with text that results in an outright violation of RFC8200. > >> Suresh (INT AD) clarified this one list, here: >> https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ipv6/Db6_SGfmeIDzaE56Ps5kUDCYEzY >> >> Suresh noted that there wasn't consensus call, even at the f2f meeting >> (not to mention that the list was never polled in this respect). > > Right, neither of these two documents are adopted as working group documents. > And perhaps a more correct phrasing above would be that "The working group > session in Singapore ended with what appeared to be a view that work could > continue on both of these documents". Not sure what you mean. Yes, sure: these are individual contributions. The authors can do what they please with their individual contributions, since they don't represent wg consensus. That includes continue working on them, abandoning them, or simply delete all content and revise the document as blank documetns with just boiler-plates. Until the point the wg has adopted such documents, I have no idea whatsoever why the mere existence of such *individal submissions* should affect the requirement to comply with our existing specs. >> I would say that it seems we have not been following the processes that >> should be followed.

Is that documented in an RFC? Yes: RFC2026 and RFC2418. > You seem to take it on yourself to represent the "rest of the wg > participants", but from my perspective it looks like a few very loud voices. I don't. Again: unless folks get consensus to update RFC8200, thy should comply with it. The onus is on them, not on us asking folks to comply with existing standards.
