In particular, it has been argued that the IETF process for publication of Informational RFCs does not require technical review. In http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf/Current/msg05318.html Michael Dolan argued, in regard to draft-zigmond-tv-url-02.txt: "The continued insistence that this draft obtain technical review and approval either in or out of IETF is not required under the Informational process. So, there simply is no requirement to change the draft technically based on comments here or in W3C or anywhere else. Continued references to current and past mail threads on the (lack of) technical merits are just not relevant unless someone can explain why this draft requires a special review process." I think we might want to make sure that draft-ietf-urlreg-procedure-07.txt says that the URL review process is an ongoing activity of the IETF, and any Informational RFC which purports to register an IETF tree URL is subject to technical review. It would be useful if the resulting BCP were listed as "Updates RFC 2026", so that there's no question about the applicable process.
