Technical Summary
The IETF Datatracker tool will be enhanced to make it possible for
Working Group (WG) Chairs to provide more transparency into the status
and progression of WG documents to authors and other members of the
IETF community.
This document defines new document states that may be used to describe
the status of an Internet-Draft (I-D) that is associated with an IETF
working group (WG). The first state can be used to describe an I-D
that is being considered for adoption by a WG, and the last state
describes an I-D that has been submitted to the IESG. Appendix A
explains the different states used by IETF Area Directors (ADs) to
describe the status of I-Ds after they have been sent to the IESG for
evaluation and publication.
