I think this is no longer strictly speaking needed for drafts to
show up in the right WG pages. However, having the name
and WG match helps people to understand where drafts
belong, recognize announcements, etc. As Marcelo wrote,
there is no need for anyone to rush to submit a draft just
because of the name change. However, when you have a
need to change the draft for other reasons, I would
actually like to see them use a new name as well.

[behcet] This would mean a re-versioning as well. The new online submission tool requires the previous version x to be exatcly named after version x-1. So it is not going to be possible to submit the new version of say, draft-nemo-...-02 to be draft-mext-...-03.

By the way, nothing passed to the AD or IESG should be
renamed.

Jari
