Requirements for a Working Group Charter Tool
工作组章程工具的要求
Abstract
摘要
The IETF intends to provide a new tool to Area Directors for the creation, re-chartering, and closing of Working Groups. The tool will also allow the IETF community to view the status of the chartering process. This document describes the requirements for the proposed new tool, and it is intended as input to a later activity for the design and development of such a tool.
IETF打算为区域主管提供一种新的工具，用于创建、重新组建和关闭工作组。该工具还允许IETF社区查看租船过程的状态。本文件描述了拟议新工具的要求，旨在作为设计和开发此类工具的后续活动的输入。

[RFC2418] describes the guidelines and procedures for formation and operation of IETF Working Groups (WGs). Since the publication of RFC 2418 in 1998, the IETF has started many dozen new WGs, and has shut down many dozen. In that time, many WGs have had some (often dozens) changes to their charters.
[RFC2418]描述了IETF工作组（WG）的组建和运作指南和程序。自1998年RFC2418出版以来，IETF已经启动了几十个新的工作组，并关闭了几十个。在此期间，许多工作组对其章程进行了一些（通常是几十次）修改。
Today, virtually all of the tasks associated with creating, rechartering, and closing a WG are performed manually. An Area Director (AD) requests one of these actions by manually sending a message to the Secretariat's ticket system. A member of the Secretariat staff manually updates the internal Secretariat database and the IETF Datatracker, manually places the WG on the IESG teleconference agenda (when appropriate), and manually sends out all of the required messages and announcements.
如今，几乎所有与创建、重新归档和关闭工作组相关的任务都是手动执行的。区域主任（AD）通过向秘书处的票务系统手动发送信息，请求采取这些行动之一。一名秘书处工作人员手动更新秘书处内部数据库和IETF数据跟踪器，手动将工作组列入IESG电话会议议程（适当时），并手动发送所有要求的信息和公告。
The IETF Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC) would like to create a better tool for those tasks, and this document lists the requirements for such a tool. When complete, this document may be used to issue an RFP for the design and development of the tool. This document was prepared at the request of the IAOC.
IETF管理监督委员会（IAOC）希望为这些任务创建更好的工具，本文件列出了此类工具的要求。完成后，本文件可用于发布工具设计和开发的RFP。本文件是应IAOC的要求编写的。
As described in [RFC2418], a key responsibility of the IESG is the creation, re-chartering, and closing of WGs. Creation and rechartering of WGs is a multi-step process that involves internal review of a draft charter by the IESG and IAB, an external review of the draft charter by the IETF community and by other standards bodies, and (likely) approval of a final charter by the IESG. The internal review by the IESG and IAB, and the external review by the IETF community, often result in revisions to the draft charter.
如[RFC2418]所述，IESG的主要职责是创建、重新租赁和关闭工作组。工作组的创建和重新编制是一个多步骤的过程，涉及IESG和IAB对章程草案的内部审查，IETF社区和其他标准机构对章程草案的外部审查，以及IESG（可能）对最终章程的批准。IESG和IAB的内部审查以及IETF社区的外部审查通常会导致对章程草案的修订。
Closing of a WG does not require review or approval by the IESG. Rather, a WG may be closed at the request of an AD, normally the Area Advisor for the WG.
工作组的结束不需要IESG的审查或批准。相反，工作组可应广告要求关闭，广告通常是工作组的区域顾问。
Note that the charter and recharter processes do not involve changing of WG milestones. A tool that handles milestone updates will likely be created in the future.
请注意，特许和再特许过程不涉及工作组里程碑的变更。将来可能会创建一个处理里程碑更新的工具。
The tool described here holds records for new WGs that are being considered as well as for all WGs whose charter are under review.
这里描述的工具保存了正在考虑的新工作组以及正在审查其章程的所有工作组的记录。
A WG record contains the following fields:
工作组记录包含以下字段：
o name of the WG
o 工作组名称
o the WG's acronym
o 工作组的首字母缩略词
o names of the WG chairs (if known)
o 工作组主席的姓名（如已知）
o names of the WG secretary (if any)
o 工作组秘书的姓名（如有）
o names of the WG technical advisors (if any)
o 工作组技术顾问的姓名（如有）
o shepherding AD
o 牧羊广告
o IETF area
o IETF区域
o charter text
o 章程文本
o mailing list address and archive location
o 邮件列表地址和存档位置
o previous mailing list (if any)
o 以前的邮件列表（如有）
o other web sites (such as wikis, trackers, and/or project sites, if any) including web sites existing prior to the WG formation
o 其他网站（如维基、追踪者和/或项目网站，如有），包括工作组成立前存在的网站
o earlier acronyms for the WG
o 工作组的早期首字母缩略词
o explanation for why the WG is being chartered or rechartered (if any)
o 解释工作组被特许或重新注册的原因（如有）
In addition, a WG record contains the state of the WG in the review process. That state has one annotation: whether or not the state is for a proposed WG or for an existing WG undergoing rechartering. Some changes in state cause messages to be sent to the Secretariat so that the Secretariat can perform additional steps, such as sending out mail to various parties about the latest version of the charter text, deadlines for an upcoming decision, and so on.
此外，工作组记录包含审查过程中工作组的状态。该状态有一个注释：该状态是否适用于提议的工作组或正在重新调整的现有工作组。国家的某些变化导致向秘书处发送信息，以便秘书处能够执行额外的步骤，例如向各方发送关于《宪章》文本最新版本、即将作出的决定的截止日期等的邮件。
When a WG record is displayed, that display should also reflect whether the WG currently exists or has been closed; that data comes from a different part of the Datatracker database.
当显示工作组记录时，该显示还应反映工作组当前是否存在或已关闭；这些数据来自Datatracker数据库的不同部分。
Any AD can modify fields in an existing WG record. Any AD can use the tool to change the review state of a WG record. The normal order for steps is shown in this document, but an AD can set the state to any valid value at any time.
任何广告都可以修改现有工作组记录中的字段。任何广告都可以使用该工具更改工作组记录的审查状态。本文档中显示了步骤的正常顺序，但AD可以随时将状态设置为任何有效值。
During the reviews for WG creation and rechartering, ADs can comment on the reviews. Any AD can add a comment to the record of a WG that is under review. Each comment can be flagged as either "blocking" (meaning blocking forward movement until it is resolved) and "non-blocking" (meaning that it is only informative or editorial).
在工作组创建和重新编排的评论期间，广告可以对评论进行评论。任何广告都可以在正在审查的工作组记录中添加评论。每个评论都可以标记为“阻止”（意思是阻止向前移动，直到问题得到解决）和“非阻止”（意思是只提供信息或编辑）。
Charter text proposals are to be kept for historical purposes. They are kept in files with a specific naming pattern. The pattern for charters before a WG is formed is:
章程文本提案应保留用于历史目的。它们保存在具有特定命名模式的文件中。工作组成立前的特许模式为：
charter-ietf-wgacronym-nn[-mm]
特许ietf首字母缩写nn[-mm]
o "wgacronym" is the acronym of the proposed WG.
o “WG首字母缩略词”是拟议工作组的首字母缩略词。
o "nn" is a two-digit charter number assigned in sequence. It starts at "00" for before the WG is first chartered; the first finished charter has a value of "01".
o “nn”是按顺序分配的两位数租船编号。在工作组首次获得特许之前的“00”开始；第一个完成的特许权的值为“01”。
o "mm" is a two-digit proposal number assigned in sequence. It starts at "00" for the first proposal for a particular version of charter. It is omitted in the actual charter file.
o “mm”是按顺序分配的两位数提案编号。对于特定版本的宪章，第一个提案从“00”开始。它在实际的特许文件中被省略。
For instance, if the "example" WG is chartered and then rechartered twice, you might have the following sequence of files:
例如，如果“示例”工作组被特许，然后被重新特许两次，那么您可能有以下文件序列：
charter-ietf-example-00-00.txt (first proposal) charter-ietf-example-00-01.txt (second proposal) charter-ietf-example-00-02.txt (third proposal) charter-ietf-example-01.txt (first charter) charter-ietf-example-01-00.txt (first recharter proposal) charter-ietf-example-01-01.txt (second recharter proposal) charter-ietf-example-01-02.txt (third recharter proposal) charter-ietf-example-02.txt (second charter) charter-ietf-example-02-00.txt (next recharter proposal) . . . charter-ietf-example-03.txt (third charter)
charter-ietf-example-00-00.txt（第一份提案）charter-ietf-example-00-01.txt（第二份提案）charter-ietf-example-00-02.txt（第三份提案）charter-ietf-example-01.txt（第一份提案）charter-ietf-example-01-00.txt（第二份提案）charter-ietf-example-01-02.txt（第三个recharter建议书）charter-ietf-example-02.txt（第二个章程）charter-ietf-example-02-00.txt（下一个recharter建议书）…charter-ietf-example-03.txt（第三个章程）
An AD can view and edit the standard "WG Review" and "WG Action" announcements before they are sent out during the WG creation, rechartering, and closing processes. If the AD edits the message, the Secretariat is alerted to that fact when they receive the request.
广告可以查看和编辑标准的“工作组审查”和“工作组行动”公告，然后在工作组创建、重新归档和关闭过程中发送。如果广告编辑了信息，秘书处在收到请求时会被告知这一事实。
Area Directors and the IETF Secretariat currently have access to perform some actions in the Datatracker that other community members do not; this access control continues to be used in many of the extensions listed in this document. Further, the IETF Secretariat can perform all actions that can be performed by any AD in this tool.
区域主管和IETF秘书处目前有权在Datatracker中执行其他社区成员无法执行的某些操作；此访问控制继续用于本文档中列出的许多扩展。此外，IETF秘书处可以执行此工具中任何AD可以执行的所有操作。
Records for all WGs that are being created, or are in the process of charter updates, will be added before the tool is first publicly deployed.
在首次公开部署该工具之前，将添加正在创建或正在更新章程的所有工作组的记录。
The database should also be initialized with current and historical data, namely as much information as is currently known about existing and closed WGs that can be done in a mostly-automated fashion.
数据库还应使用当前和历史数据进行初始化，即目前已知的关于现有和已关闭工作组的尽可能多的信息，这些信息可以以自动化的方式完成。
Any AD can create a new WG record using a simple web form. Creating a record should succeed as long as there is no other WG with the same name. Names must be unique, so the tool will warn the AD if the acronym that is being proposed has been used in earlier WG charter proposals and suggest against its use for a new charter. By default, the field in the form listing the shepherding AD will be prepopulated with the name of the AD who is filling in the form. The AD can fill in all the fields for the proposed WG. The names of the WG chairs can be left off during the initial chartering process.
任何广告都可以使用简单的web表单创建新的工作组记录。只要没有其他同名的工作组，创建记录就应该成功。名称必须是唯一的，因此如果所提议的首字母缩写词已在早期的工作组章程提案中使用，该工具将警告广告，并建议不要将其用于新章程。默认情况下，表单中列出牧羊广告的字段将预先填充填写表单的广告名称。广告可以填写拟议工作组的所有字段。工作组主席的姓名可以在初始租船过程中省略。
(Some Secretariat tools have trouble with acronyms of more than eight characters: they truncate the name. This will probably be fixed in the future. The new tool should have a configuration setting that is set to 8 initially, and it should be adjusted when the Secretariat tools are updated. There may also be problems with names that have hyphens in them. However, WGs that have more than eight characters in their names, and WGs with hyphens in their names, have existed for over a year.)
（一些秘书处工具在使用超过8个字符的首字母缩写词时遇到问题：它们会截断名称。这可能在将来会得到修复。新工具的配置设置最初应设置为8，并应在更新秘书处工具时进行调整。带有连字符i的名称也可能存在问题。）但是，名称中包含八个以上字符的WGs和名称中包含连字符的WGs已经存在了一年多。）
Creating a new WG record causes the Datatracker state for this potential new WG to be "Informal IESG review". When the record is created, the AD proposes a length of time (in weeks) for the internal review time; the default is one week.
创建新工作组记录会导致此潜在新工作组的Datatracker状态为“非正式IESG审查”。创建记录时，AD建议内部审查时间的长度（以周为单位）；默认值为一周。
The review states in which a WG can exist during its initial chartering are:
工作组在其初始租船期间可存在的审查状态为：
o Informal IESG review -- This is the initial state, moved into by the tool when an AD creates a WG record. When the WG record is moved to this state, a message is sent to the Secretariat. The normal next state is "Internal review" if the idea is accepted, or "Not currently under review" if the idea is abandoned. The tool should prompt the AD if they try to move to the next state in less than the minimum elapsed time set by the AD when creating the WG, but allow the move if the AD responds to the prompt.
o 非正式的IESG审查——这是初始状态，当广告创建工作组记录时，该工具将进入该状态。当工作组记录移动到此状态时，将向秘书处发送一条消息。如果想法被接受，则正常的下一状态为“内部审查”，如果想法被放弃，则为“当前未审查”。如果AD试图在创建工作组时在少于AD设置的最短运行时间内移动到下一个状态，工具应提示AD，但如果AD响应提示，则允许移动。
o Internal review -- The IESG and IAB are reviewing the early draft of the charter; this is the initial IESG and IAB review. When moved to this state, a note is sent to the Secretariat to place this on the next IESG telechat and to inform the IAB. The usual next state is "External review" if the idea is adopted, or "Informal IESG review" if the IESG decides the idea needs more work, or "Not currently under review" if the idea is abandoned.
o 内部审查——IESG和IAB正在审查章程的早期草案；这是IESG和IAB的初步审查。当移动到该状态时，将向秘书处发送一份通知，将其放在下一个IESG telechat上，并通知IAB。通常的下一个状态是“外部审查”，如果想法被采纳，或者“非正式IESG审查”，如果IESG认为想法需要更多的工作，或者如果想法被放弃，则“当前未被审查”。
o External review -- The IETF community and possibly other standards development organizations (SDOs) are reviewing the proposed charter. When moved to this state, a note is sent to the Secretariat to send out the external review announcement to the appropriate lists. The external review announcement will be sent out to the normal IETF-related mailing lists. The AD can specify whether or not to send the announcement to other SDOs (with the default being that it should be), and the AD can also specify additional recipients who should receive the announcement. When moved to this state, a separate note is sent to the Secretariat to schedule discussion for the next IESG telechat. The usual next state is "IESG review", although it might move to "Not currently under review" if the idea is abandoned during the external review.
o 外部审查——IETF社区和可能的其他标准开发组织（SDO）正在审查提议的章程。当移到这种状态时，将向秘书处发送一份说明，向适当的名单发出外部审查公告。外部审查公告将发送至与IETF相关的普通邮件列表。广告可以指定是否将公告发送给其他SDO（默认情况下应该发送），广告还可以指定应接收公告的其他收件人。当移到该状态时，将向秘书处发送一份单独的通知，以安排下一次IESG telechat的讨论。通常的下一个状态是“IESG审查”，但如果在外部审查期间放弃了该想法，则可能会转到“目前未审查”。
o IESG review -- The IESG is reviewing the discussion from the external review of the proposed charter. The usual next state is "WG exists", or "Not currently under review" if the idea is abandoned.
o IESG审查——IESG正在审查拟议章程外部审查的讨论。通常的下一个状态是“工作组存在”，如果放弃了该想法，则为“当前未审查”。
o WG exists -- The WG was approved by the IESG. When moved to this state, a note is sent to the Secretariat to publish the charter and send the appropriate announcements. The WG remains in this state until there is a request to update the charter.
o 工作组存在——工作组已由IESG批准。当移到该国时，将向秘书处发送一份说明，以公布《宪章》并发送适当的公告。工作组保持这种状态，直到有更新章程的请求。
o Not currently under review -- The proposed WG is not being considered at this time. A proposed WG charter will remain in this state until an AD moves it to "Informa1 IESG review".
o 目前未进行审查——目前未考虑拟议的工作组。在广告将其移至“Informa1 IESG review”之前，拟议的工作组章程将保持在该状态。
All states above, except for "WG exists", are given the annotation "Initial chartering".
除“WG exists”外，上述所有州均附有“初始租船”注释。
The chartering process involves the proposed charter appearing on two IESG telechats. The tool should allow an AD and/or the Secretariat to select the telechat date for the approval events. When the telechat is selected, the state determines where it appears on that telechat's agenda.
租船流程涉及两个IESG电视剧上出现的拟议租船。该工具应允许广告和/或秘书处为批准活动选择telechat日期。当选择telechat时，状态将确定它出现在该telechat的议程上的位置。
Any AD can request that a WG be rechartered using a simple web form. This form prompts with the current charter and allows all fields to be edited. Asking for a recharter causes the Datatracker state for this WG to be "Informal IESG review". When the recharter record is created, the AD proposes a length of time (in weeks) for the internal review time; the default is one week.
任何广告都可以要求工作组使用简单的web表单进行重新编排。此表单提示当前章程，并允许编辑所有字段。请求记录者会导致此工作组的Datatracker状态为“非正式IESG审查”。创建记录时，AD建议内部审核时间的长度（以周为单位）；默认值为一周。
The review states in which a WG can exist during rechartering are:
工作组在重组期间可能存在的审查状态为：
o WG exists; Informal IESG recharter review -- This is the initial state, moved into by the tool when an AD asks for a WG to be rechartered. When the WG record is moved to this state, a message is sent to the Secretariat. The normal next state is "WG exists; Internal review" if the idea is accepted, or "WG exists" if this attempt to recharter is abandoned. The tool should prompt the AD if they try to move to the next state in less than the minimum elapsed time set by the AD when asking to recharter the WG.
o 工作组存在；非正式的IESG recharter评论——这是初始状态，当广告要求对工作组进行重新归档时，该工具会将其移入该状态。当工作组记录移动到此状态时，将向秘书处发送一条消息。如果想法被接受，则正常的下一个状态为“工作组存在；内部审查”，或者如果放弃重新协调的尝试，则为“工作组存在”。如果AD试图在请求重新格式化工作组时，在少于AD设置的最短运行时间内移动到下一个状态，则工具应提示AD。
o WG exists; Internal recharter review -- The IESG and IAB are reviewing the proposed new charter; this is the initial IESG and IAB review of the new charter. When moved to this state, a note is sent to the Secretariat to place this on the next IESG telechat and to inform the IAB. The usual next state is "WG exists; External review" if the idea is adopted, or "WG exists; Informal IESG review" if the IESG decides the idea needs more work, or "WG exists" if the current rechartering is abandoned or if the new charter is approved during internal review.
o 工作组存在；内部审查——IESG和IAB正在审查拟议的新章程；这是IESG和IAB对新章程的初步审查。当移动到该状态时，将向秘书处发送一份通知，将其放在下一个IESG telechat上，并通知IAB。通常的下一个状态是“工作组存在；外部审查”，如果该想法被采纳，或“工作组存在；非正式的IESG审查”，如果IESG决定该想法需要更多的工作，或“工作组存在”，如果当前的重组被放弃，或如果新章程在内部审查期间获得批准。
o WG exists; External recharter review -- The IETF community and possibly other SDOs are reviewing the proposed new charter. When moved to this state, a note is sent to the Secretariat to send out the external review announcement to the appropriate lists. The external review announcement will be sent to the normal IETF-related mailing lists. The AD can specify whether or not to send the announcement to other SDOs (with the default being that it should be), and the AD can also specify additional recipients who should receive the announcement. The usual next state is "WG exists; IESG review", although it might move to "WG exists" if the current rechartering is abandoned during the external review.
o 工作组存在；外部审查——IETF社区和可能的其他SDO正在审查拟议的新章程。当移到这种状态时，将向秘书处发送一份说明，向适当的名单发出外部审查公告。外部审查公告将发送至正常的IETF相关邮件列表。广告可以指定是否将公告发送给其他SDO（默认情况下应该发送），广告还可以指定应接收公告的其他收件人。通常的下一个状态是“WG exists；IESG review”，但如果在外部审核期间放弃当前的重新审核，则它可能会移动到“WG exists”。
o WG exists; IESG recharter review -- The IESG is reviewing the discussion from the external review of the recharter. When moved to this state, a note is sent to the Secretariat to schedule discussion for the next IESG telechat. The usual next state is "WG exists".
o 工作组存在；IESG再哈特审查——IESG正在审查再哈特外部审查的讨论。当移到该状态时，将向秘书处发送一份说明，以安排下一次IESG telechat的讨论。通常的下一个状态是“WG exists”。
All states above are given the annotation "Rechartering".
上述所有状态都给出了注释“重新刻划”。
When rechartering existing WGs, the IESG decides whether or not the recharter needs an external review; many do not.
在重新审核现有工作组时，IESG决定是否需要外部审核；很多人没有。
The rechartering process involves the proposed charter appearing on one or two IESG telechats. The tool should allow an AD and/or the Secretariat to select the telechat date for the approval events. When the telechat is selected, the state determines where it appears on that telechat's agenda.
重新认证过程涉及一个或两个IESG Telecohats上出现的拟议章程。该工具应允许广告和/或秘书处为批准活动选择telechat日期。当选择telechat时，状态将确定它出现在该telechat的议程上的位置。
The current Datatracker has facilities for ballots on adoption of Internet-Drafts to become RFCs. A separate facility needs to be created to allow balloting for initial chartering or rechartering during IESG review. The balloting for charter and rechartering will allow ADs to express "yes", "no", and "abstain" positions, and will allow ADs to change their positions over time.
当前的数据跟踪器具有通过互联网草案成为RFC的投票设施。需要创建一个单独的设施，以便在IESG审查期间对初始租船或重新租船进行投票。特许投票和重新计票将允许广告表达“是”、“否”和“弃权”立场，并允许广告随着时间的推移改变立场。
As described in Section 2.2, comments can be added to the record for a WG. It is expected that such comments will be added during the balloting process.
如第2.2节所述，可将意见添加到工作组的记录中。预计将在投票过程中添加这些评论。
An AD can use the tool to request that the Secretariat close an existing WG. The request action will prompt the AD to provide instructions regarding the disposition of each active Internet-Draft (such as to withdraw the draft, move it to another WG, convert it to an individual submission, and so on), wording for the closure announcement, and the status of the WG mailing list (will it remain open or should it be closed).
广告可以使用该工具要求秘书处关闭现有工作组。请求操作将提示广告提供关于每个活动互联网草稿处理的说明（例如撤回草稿、将其移动到另一个工作组、将其转换为单独提交等）、关闭公告的措辞以及工作组邮件列表的状态（是否保持打开或是否关闭）。
All members of the IETF community can view the public portions of the charter database. This public view should have an explanation of the states given in this document. They can also search for a WG record in the tool based on one or more of the following criteria:
IETF社区的所有成员都可以查看charter数据库的公共部分。这种公众观点应该对本文件中给出的国家做出解释。他们还可以根据以下一个或多个条件在工具中搜索工作组记录：
o WG name (full or partial)
o 工作组名称（全部或部分）
o WG acronym
o WG首字母缩略词
o WG charter state
o 工作组特许状态
o Shepherding AD
o 牧羊广告
o Area
o 地区
o Text in any of the fields
o 任何字段中的文本
o Earlier acronyms for the WG
o 工作组的早期首字母缩略词
Further, all users can view all snapshots of earlier versions of a WG's charter. Snapshots include the Area, AD, WG name, WG acronym, chairs, and charter text.
此外，所有用户都可以查看工作组章程早期版本的所有快照。快照包括区域、广告、工作组名称、工作组首字母缩写、椅子和章程文本。
It needs to be easy to compare differences between different versions of proposed charter language, up to and including the approved version. Using the naming formats given in Section 2, this means that it must be easy to compare wgacronym-charter-ss (for the highest value of "ss") with wgacronym-recharter-ss-nn. It must also be possible to compare any two versions of approved charters (that is, of two values for "ss" in wgacronym-charter-ss). It also must be easy to compare two versions that have different acronyms in the case that the acronym changes during the chartering process.
需要很容易比较提议的章程语言的不同版本之间的差异，直到并包括批准的版本。使用第2节中给出的命名格式，这意味着必须很容易将WG首字母缩略词charter ss（“ss”的最高值）与WG首字母缩略词recharter ss nn进行比较。还必须能够比较批准的章程的任何两个版本（即，WG首字母缩略词charter ss中“ss”的两个值）。如果首字母缩略词在租船过程中发生变化，那么比较两个首字母缩略词不同的版本也必须很容易。
The tool needs to provide an Atom feed [RFC4287] for the changes in a charter. The contents of the feed are the full WG record, plus an indication of what changed since the last entry in the feed.
该工具需要为章程中的更改提供Atom提要[RFC4287]。feed的内容是完整的WG记录，加上自feed中最后一个条目以来发生了什么变化的指示。
Creating a new tool for tracking the charter of WGs does not affect the security of the Internet in any significant fashion.
创建一个跟踪工作组章程的新工具不会以任何重大方式影响互联网的安全。
This document draws heavily on earlier work done on this topic by other writers, such as previous IESG and IAB members. Various members of the IESG contributed many suggestions to this document. In particular David Harrington, Robert Sparks, and Russ Housley contributed a great deal of wording and many ideas.
