Each significant change (addition, deletion, modification) to RFC2518bis should be preceded by an email with that proposed change, and then should be documented in the issues list with a pointer to that email message(and marked as OPEN, until the change has been accepted by consensus, or at least, if no objections have been raised in a reasonable period of time). A new revision of the I-D is a good way to see the proposed change in context, but just publishing the draft is not an effective way to announce or achieve consensus on a set of changes.
