¶ WELCOME TO THE INTERNET-DRAFT AUTHORS RESOURCE SITE

This site is the central resource site for authors of an Internet-Draft (I-D),
with information on how to write an I-D and the tools available to support this.
If you are new to authoring then begin with the introduction below or if you are
more familiar then the main menu lists multiple individual topics.

> decommissioned. The features available at that site have been replaced as
> follows:
> - The interactive tools are now at https://author-tools.ietf.org
> - The catalog of tools is now at Tools catalog
> - The xml2rfc vocabulary documentation is now at RFCXML Vocabulary
> - The repositories for the various tools are now in the ietf-tools
> organisation on GitHub.


¶ INTRODUCING INTERNET-DRAFTS

Internet-Drafts (I-Ds) are the basic work items of the IETF and they are
produced for a variety of purposes by a wide range of individuals and groups.
Anyone can write and submit an Internet-Draft.

Some I-Ds may eventually be published as a Request for Comment (RFC). Each of
the RFC Streams has their own process for how an I-D becomes an RFC. For the
IETF that is documented in the standards development process. When an I-D is
approved to become an RFC, it follows the separate RFC Editor RFC publication
process.

Unless otherwise indicated, the information on this site applies to all streams.

Internet-Drafts are prepared by people acting in possibly several roles, such as
an author or an editor. The term "author" is used here, but the information
applies to people acting in any role.

To find out more about authoring an I-D, begin with Getting started.
