This document describes methodologies that have been designed to
improve and facilitate IETF document flow processing.  It specifies a
set of procedures under which a working group chair or secretary
serves as the primary Document Shepherd for a document that has been
submitted to the IESG for publication.  Before this, the Area
Director responsible for the working group has traditionally filled
the shepherding role.  This memo provides information for the Internet
