This document presents a first attempt at evaluating the recently
published RFC. We analyze a set of randomly chosen RFC approved in
2018, looking for history and delays. The average RFC was produced in
3 years and 4 months, of which 2 years and 10 months were spent in the
working group, 3 to 4 months for IETF consensus and IESG review, and 3
to 4 months in RFC production. The main variation in RFC production
delays comes from the AUTH48 phase. We also measure the number of
citations of the chosen RFC using Semantic Scholar, and compare
citation counts with what we know about deployment. We show that
citation counts indicate academic interest, but correlate only loosely
with deployment or usage of the specifications. The measurement of
delays could be automated by processing dates and events recorded in
the data tracker. The measurement of published RFC could be
complemented by statistics on abandoned drafts, which would measure
the efficiency of the IETF triaging process.
