Introduction Automated summaries of IETF contributions are often useful. Some examples include mailing list digests, summaries of posting volume, and data concerning version control traffic. 2. Conventions and Definitions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. 3. Policy IETF participants often devise new ways of presenting IETF contribution data. If an automated summary becomes critical to an IETF effort, it should be transferred to the IETF Tools team. When there is rough consensus and running code showing that a summary is regularly useful, it must be transferred away from an individual. Sayre Expires 24 October 2025 [Page 2] Internet-Draft ASIC April 2025 If there is no consensus that a summary is useful, it should not be regularly sent. 4. Security Considerations IETF procedures cannot depend on the resources of an individual. When a summary becomes important enough for participants to object to its absence, as a matter of rough consensus, it must be transitioned to IETF infrastructure. 5. IANA Considerations This document has no IANA actions. 6.
