According to naming conventions, the first version that is officially published by the IETF should be named something like:draft-wan-ipdvb-rohc-00.txt (i.e. draft- followed by first author, followed by WG followed by title)The format of the draft would have passed the ID-Submission process and have been published except for the pre-IETF meeting cut-off.I think this should therefore be uploaded as soon as the archives re-open - but it would be good to get feedback from people on the current text. I will also send some comments on the draft soon,
Thank you very much.

I've included the change suggested by Rod Walsh in the draft. Some entries in the Terminologies section are copied from other RFCs, I hope that is bad practice for a candidate I-D. Certainly, this draft needs more polishing. I take the liberty to send it now, so that someone in this mailing list can help iron out some issues. English is not my native tongue, please forgive me for my poor command of the language.Thank you in advance.

I am subscribed to the mailing list via another email address (wcang@nrg.cs.usm.my) which is an alias to the one I'm using.Sounds likely.The first thing to decide is what editor you wish to use - some people use a text editor and nroff (these are in the minority), many still use a microsoft word template (the main way until a few years ago) and the rest use a XML-editor (now probably the best way). You could of course just try to write a text file, but as you receive comments and find that you have co-editors helping with the draft, this is likely to become too difficult to do.If you were intending to submit a draft for consideration by the IETF, then you need to format it according to the guidelines shown at:http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.htmlAye, we want to submit this draft for consideration by the IETF.See: http://www.rfc-editor.org/formatting.html http://tools.ietf.org//inventory/author-toolsA good start would be to get a XML or DOC file in the format you intend to use and add your text to this.The final Internet-Draft must conform to the fixed style (i.e. all sections well-formed:http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.txtThis means in practice that you need to upload the document to the checking tool at (this will tell you what is right and what is wrong)http://www.tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/Aye, thanks for the pointer.You may well be aware that there is a deadline prior to an IETF meeting, this is enforce today (which means you can not submit a new document after 5pm US time today). You could try for this, but if this is your first draft, then this may well be too little time (it's easier if you've done this before).I see. I wasn't aware of that. This is our first draft, so I think it is wiser to discuss first.In the mean-time it seems some people have started reading your inputs, so you could discuss this on the list and see if people agree.GorryP.S. There is no formal IPDVB meeting at this IETF, or ROHC WG meeting,but if you were attending then please do let me know and we can talk.You can then upload the draft to the I-D repository using: https://datatracker.ietf.org/idst/upload.cgiIf you want help formatting and submitting this, please do let us know.Yes, we appreciate any form of help. Please help us with formatting and submission.

We would like to seek for your comments (and corrections) regarding our draft. Attached is the draft. Do note that the most of content in Terminologies section was copied from other Internet Drafts and RFCs. I think they are still incomplete.I tried to sent an email to ipdvb@erg.abdn.ac.uk, but I received no such email. I'm guessing the mailing list is not working properly.Thank you very much.
