* IMO it's fine to contact the authors of an original RFC and point out that an update is needed. But it's really presumptuous and rude to appoint oneself a co-author of a bis document and suggest that the original authors should become co-authors. IMO that should be a last resort option, for the cases where the original authors aren't willing to revise their document, not the first suggestion made.
I am not sure I understand you. Are you saying that once an RFC is authored, any BIS work must first be offered to the original authors? If so, what about when the WG has been shut (LAMPS instead of PKIX)? Or this case, where someone wrote a draft and the WG adopted it. Should the WG then ask the new author to wait until they’ve heard from the original authors? In this case, was I mistaken to submit a draft without first contacting Jeff and Peter before doing anything?
