IETF Procedures and guidelines

Doing like the Romans do:

• The Tao of IETF - RFC 4677
• Guidelines to Authors of Internet-Drafts
• Guide for Internet Standards Writers RFC 2360
• Writing I-Ds and RFCs using XML RFC 2629
• Checklist for Internet-Drafts (I-Ds) submitted for RFC publication
• IETF Tools Wiki
• IETF Critical Tools The most frequently-used and critical IETF tools are:
  • I-D Tracker - Access and search the database of Internet Drafts in the IETF database.
  • IDNits - Check Internet Drafts for submission nits. Use idnits to check that your Draft has the desired formatting, boilerplate, references consistency and more.
  • RFCdiff - Compare two Internet Drafts or RFCs for differences and modifications.
  • I-D Submission Tool - Submit your Internet Draft to the IETF.
  • xml2rfc - Take your XML source (using the format defined in RFC 2629 and its unofficial successor) and see how the results look like in the original ASCII look-and-feel or the new modern HTML rendition of that look-and-feel
• Transform RFC xml
