Perhaps the right answer is that for -bis documents, that, having polled the previous authors, if they want to continue to be listed, that the 5-author rule be regularly waived. On a -bis-bis (a "-ter"), maybe the process is not transitive. (Been there with rfc8415bis, which is rfc3315ter) But, let the IESG judge/decide at time of publication in consultation with the RFC editor. Tell the WGs not to sweat the problem during I-D developement. Just list everyone until IESG stage. I don't think we'll get into three pages of authors common in my other scientific realms, such as high-energy physics. -- Michael Richardson <mcr+IETF@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, Sandelman Software Works -= IPv6 IoT consulting =- *I*LIKE*TRAINS*
