Subject: Two administrative items

(1) Anyone who presented in Salt Lake City and who has not
	sent me their presentation needs to do so ASAP.
	The final version of the minutes and all presentations
	will go to the secretariat this week.

(2) We need to reduce author count on our drafts.  Authorship
	should be reserved for those who have made substantial
	text and/or intellectual contributions to drafts.  Others
	should be acknowledged in the Acknowledgements sections.
	The iSCSI, FCIP, IPS Security and iSCSI naming drafts
	all have at a dozen or more authors, and need to be
	cut down by a factor of 2 or more.  Based on the source
	of this request at the plenary in Salt Lake City, we
	may well be facing the choice of reducing these author
	counts ourselves, or having the RFC Editor "help" us
	do it while they're in the queue for publication, thus
	holding things up at a very late stage in the process.

To set an example, my name should be moved from the
author list of the Security draft to the acknowledgements
section, even though there are half a dozen or so
paragraphs in that draft that I wrote.

Thanks,
--David
