There used to be a file called "1id-guidelines.txt" that spontaneously
disappeared from the IETF archives (and mirrors) a couple months ago.
Fortunately, I printed a copy just before that happened. In brief:
Submissions should be sent to <internet-drafts@cnri.reston.va.us>.
All Internet-Drafts should contain the full filename (beginning with
draft- and including the version number) in the text of the document.
The filename information should, at a minimum, appear on the first page
(possibly with the title).
For those authors submitting updates to existing I-Ds, the choice
of the filename is obvious (up the version by 1). For new documents,
send a message to <internet-drafts@cnri.reston.va.us> with the document
title, if it is a product of a working group (and the name of the group),
and an abstract. The file name to be assigned will be included in a
response. Simply add the filename text to the document (ASCII and
PostScript versions) and submit the Internet-Draft.
Hopefully, someone at IESG can find the missing guidelines file and restore
it to the archive.
