Subject: IETF 'tools' team started, new list [email-masked]

As part of the overall effort to improve IETF operations
and structure, a 'tools' group has been chartered to
develop a requirements for electronic tools to aid
in the IETF operations.

This message announces a public discussion list,
   [email-masked]

for the community to gathering and discuss
requirements, suggestions, and priorities for
IETF-related tools.

Briefly, the charter of the group 
   http:/// ...

focuses primarily on tools to improve the interface
between IETF administration and the broader community,
and secondarily to aid in the operation of individual
working groups and the tasks of standards development.

The tools group aims to coordinate with the ongoing
developments in IETF administrative realignment.

Recently, many new tools have already been
started and are in use; this group will continue with
the process.

Schedule:
   The group will initially focus on additional tools (not
   already specified or in progress) for use by the
   Secretariat.

   An draft set of requirements for an Internet Drafts
   Submission Tool will be posted shortly.

   Other secretariat tools are expected to be specified
   over the next six months. We will put together
   a list and priority schedule within that time frame.

   The tools team may also survey the community for
   input on priorities, requirements, and feedback
   on currently deployed tools.

Internet Drafts in preparation:
