| 30 | + Document Quality |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a |
| 33 | + significant number of vendors indicated their plan to |
| 34 | + implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that |
| 35 | + merit special mention as having done a thorough review, |
| 36 | + e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a |
| 37 | + conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If |
| 38 | + there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type or other expert review, |
| 39 | + what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type |
| 40 | + review, on what date was the request posted? |

| 49 | +for publication, please explain why the document is being forwarded to |
| 50 | +the IESG. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +(4) Does the document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or |

| 59 | + |
| 60 | +(6) Describe any specific concerns or issues that the Document Shepherd |
| 61 | +has with this document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the |
| 62 | +IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable |
| 63 | +with certain parts of the document, or has concerns whether there really |
| 64 | +is a need for it. In any event, if the interested community has |
| 65 | +discussed those issues and has indicated that it still wishes to advance |

| 67 | + |
| 68 | +(7) Has each author confirmed that any and all appropriate IPR |
| 69 | +disclosures required for full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 |

| 89 | +thorough. |

| 92 | +criteria, such as the MIB Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews. |

| 95 | +either normative or informative? |

| 107 | +abstract, and discussed in the introduction? If the RFCs are not listed |
| 108 | +in the Abstract and Introduction, explain why, and point to the part of |
| 109 | +the document where the relationship of this document to the other RFCs |
| 110 | +is discussed. If this information is not in the document, explain why |

| 112 | + |
| 113 | +(17) Describe the Document Shepherd's review of the IANA considerations |
| 114 | +section, especially with regard to its consistency with the body of the |
| 115 | +document. Confirm that all protocol extensions that the document makes |
| 116 | +are associated with the appropriate reservations in IANA registries. |
| 117 | +Confirm that any referenced IANA registries have been clearly |
