I've had a brief chat with Richard Barnes about how to proceed with shepherding the documents through the publication process. As you know, we have two remaining documents to be published:

- draft-ietf-drinks-spp-protocol-over-soap
- draft-ietf-drinks-spp-framework

During the process of publication, a "document shepherd" is required by the IETF processes.  The basic rule about document shepherding is that the shepherd cannot be the *author* of the document. Usually, the WG chairs and/or the WG secretaries perform the shepherding task.  i will be doing the shpeherding for draft-ietf-drinks-spp-framework.

However, since i'm co-author of draft-ietf-drinks-spp-protocol-over-soap, i cannot do the shepherding for that document. We will need someone from the group (or also an "outsider") to fulfill this role.

Can i get a volunteer to shepherd draft-ietf-drinks-spp-protocol-over-soap through the process? I will, of course, assist that person during that process.

thanks,

Alex
