RE: Creating a new profile

Clarence,

my 2cts...

The basic IETF process is outlined in

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2026.txt

Also, I recommend

http://www.ietf.org/overview.html

and all of its sub-links.

I general, you need to find wide enough support for your proposal and probably a working group that would like to accept it. It may be very helpful to find the WG first, then post your proposal/idea to its mailing list and see how much support you will find. This can also yield to helpful advise on the process itself...

Please expect roughly 1 to 2 years before it is "finished" (at best).
