A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: Requirements for Manageability Sections in Routing
			  Area Drafts
	Author(s)	: A. Farrel, et al.
	Filename	: draft-farrel-rtg-manageability-requirements-00.txt
	Pages		: 6
	Date		: 2004-10-12
	
It has often been the case that manageability considerations have
   been retrofitted to protocols. This is sub-optimal.

   Similarly, new protocols or protocol extensions are frequently
   designed without due consideration of manageability requirements.

   This document specifies the requirement for all new Routing Area
   Internet-Drafts to include an "Manageability Considerations" section,
   and gives guidance on what that section should contain.
