- Once the administrative details had been taken care of, the group had to
- determine if the bibliography, little more than a list, should be
- formatted and submitted as an Internet-Draft. It was decided that there
- are enough bibliographies available and that this list should only be
- used for internal purposes (i.e., as references for the material to be
- included in the Netiquette Guide).
