+             Publishing the "Tao of the IETF" as a Web Page
+
+Abstract
+
+   This document describes how the "Tao of the IETF", which has been
+   published as a series of RFCs in the past, is instead being published
+   as a web page.  It also contains the procedure for publishing and
+   editing that web page.
+
+Status of This Memo
+
+   This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is
+   published for informational purposes.
+
+   This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force
+   (IETF).  It represents the consensus of the IETF community.  It has
+   received public review and has been approved for publication by the
+   Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG).  Not all documents
+   approved by the IESG are a candidate for any level of Internet
+   Standard; see Section 2 of RFC 5741.

+RFC 6722                       Tao as Web                    August 2012
+
+
+1.  Introduction
+
+   The "Tao of the IETF" ("Tao") describes the inner workings of IETF
+   meetings and Working Groups, discusses organizations related to the
+   IETF, and introduces the standards process.  It is not a formal IETF
+   process document but instead an informational overview.  The Tao has
+   traditionally been published as an RFC.  It has been published as
+   RFCs 1391, 1539, 1718, and 3160; it is currently [RFC4677].
+
+   At the time this document is published, there is a strong desire in
+   the IETF community to turn the Tao into a web page that can be
+   updated more easily.  This document describes that process.  At the
+   same time, this document formally obsoletes the last version of the
+   Tao that was published as an RFC because the last version, RFC 4677,
+   is no longer considered the "latest" version of the Tao: the new web
+   page is.
+
+   This document contains the procedure agreed to by the IESG.  The Tao
+   has traditionally been an IETF consensus document, which means that
+   the IESG has had the final say about what the Tao contained before it
+   was sent to the RFC Editor.  Thus, the IESG should have final say
+   regarding what the Tao says when it is a web page.
+
+2.  Procedure for Publishing and Editing the Tao
+
+   The Tao is published at <http://www.ietf.org/tao.html> and
+   <https://www.ietf.org/tao.html>.  The initial content for the Tao web
+   page is based on a draft document that was meant to replace RFC 4677.
+
+   The Tao is edited by one or more people as designated by the IESG.
+   Suggestions for changes to the Tao are discussed on the
+   tao-discuss@ietf.org mailing list.
+
+   The editor of the Tao decides which proposed changes should be
+   submitted to the IESG for approval.  The editor publishes the
+   proposed changes in a version at
+   <http://www.ietf.org/tao-possible-revision.html>.  The IESG may
+   accept as many of the proposed changes as it wishes.  The IESG then
+   submits the changed version to the IETF Secretariat for publication
+   on the IETF web page at the URLs given above.  The Tao editor and the
+   IESG should confirm that the page appears on the web site as
+   intended.
+
+   Each version of the Tao has a visible timestamp near the beginning of
+   the document.  All published versions are archived using URLs of the
+   form <http://www.ietf.org/tao-archive/tao-YYYYMMDD.html>, and a list
+   of the revisions is available at <http://www.ietf.org/tao-archive/>.

+
+
+   From time to time, versions of the Tao are translated into other
+   languages.  These translations do not represent IETF consensus and
+   may be provided on an "as is" basis.  The issues of how translations
+   are recorded, made available, cross-referenced to versions of the
+   Tao, and archived are outside the scope of this document and are for
+   future study.
+
+3.  Proposals for How the Tao Web Page Should Be Developed
+
+   During the discussion that led to this document, there were many
+   proposals for how the Tao, as a web page, should be published and
+   edited.  Some wanted just a web page; some wanted a web page and
+   periodic snapshots as RFCs.  Some wanted a wiki that could be easily
+   edited by anyone in the IETF community, with a master editor who
+   would revert bad edits; some wanted a wiki with a more limited group
+   of contributors.  The procedure in Section 2 above was the rough
+   consensus of the discussion.
+
+5.  Security Considerations
+
+   The Tao is available over Transport Layer Security (TLS) at
+   <https://www.ietf.org/tao.html>.
