-
Start an adoption call in the mailing list of your working group. (see this example )
-
Indicate in the IETF Datatracker that an adoption call has been issued by navigating to the I-D and clicking "Manage adoption"
-
Select the desired Working Group from the "Group" dropdown menu.
-
Select “Call for Adoption By WG Issued (IETF)” from the “State” dropdown menu.
-
When an adoption call is successfully concluded on the WG mailing list, it is time to update the I-D state in the Datatracker. (Usually, a new revision of the document is required after an adoption call is concluded.) To indicate that the I-D is adopted, navigate to the I-D in Datatracker and click the “Edit” button next to “WG state” label.
-
Move the document to the next state, in this case “Adopted by a WG”
-
Contact authors to request a new version with updated I-D name.
-
(Pre-)Approve the document. Make sure that “replaced by” is set.

- Once the updated revision of the I-D has been submitted, set the state to “WG Document”.
