[Idr] Update to Internet-Draft and RFC Boilerplate



fyi

For those of you that use xml2rfc, 1.32pre2 (available as a download or for web access to at http://xml.resource.org/experimental.html) says that it meets this.

For those using the word template or other tools, you will need to update your tools.

Subject: Update to Internet-Draft and RFC Boilerplate

A small update to BCP 78 was recently approved by the IESG as
RFC 4748, to update the boilerplate (i.e., standard legal text) in
RFCs and Internet-Drafts to recognize the IETF Trust as a rights
holder, instead of ISOC.

The actual boilerplate changes are given below this message.

Starting as soon as reasonably possible, all authors of Internet-Drafts
are requested to use the new boilerplate. The RFC Editor will in any case
be inserting it in all RFCs issued from 2006-11-01. (The rights held by
ISOC in older RFCs will be administratively transferred to the IETF
Trust.)

The public ID Nits checker already accepts I-Ds with old or new
boilerplate.
The Secretariat has started accepting I-Ds with old or new boilerplate

XML2RFC version 1.32 will generate the new boilerplate.
Users of I-D templates are requested to update them appropriately.

http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html and
http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.html are being updated.

Starting December, the public ID Nits checker will issue warnings for
old boilerplate.

Starting February 2007, the Secretariat will refuse
the old boilerplate in Internet-Drafts.

We are sorry for the inconvenience, but this change cannot
be avoided.
