All,
It's time to move on. Generally it's bad form to publish a document without
the approval of a co-author, and I would not like to break that precedent
(there are exceptions, like if someone has died and next of kin agrees- as you
know this has happened once or twice). What happens next depends on Mr.
Fowler's contribution:
If he contributed substantial amounts of text outside of the code, then I would
want a single editor listed and all others moved to a contributors section. An
explicit statement that Mr. Fowler could not be reached to approve this
publication should be mentioned.
I wrote most of the text although initially much of it was adapted
from the FNV website which was, I believe, primarily written by
Landon. As additional material was repeatedly added to respond to
various comments and requests, the percentage of the text that was
material adapted from the website declined. The order of the first
three front page authors is alphabetic which is the order the first
letters of their family names appear in "FNV".
Assuming that the code snippets are based on the Github Repo code from lcn2,
then there are no licensing issues, and an appropriate acknowledgment is
sufficient. Otherwise, I'd like to be clear as to the code's origin.
I assume you are talking about the C code rather than the few lines of
pseudo-code. The C code was written by myself and Tony Hansen who have
both approved the draft. None of it is from Github.
If Mr. Fowler contributed only to the algorithm, and not to the code, then an
appropriate acknowledgment is sufficient.
I believe that to be the case.
Even at this late date, if Mr. Fowler approves, I am happy to also approve.
But that has to happen PRONTO.
Thanks,
Donald

Dear Mssrs Fowler and Vo
The RFC Editor has requested your review and approval of draft RFC 9923. All
authors must approve this work. If you do not wish to be listed as an author,
you may reply to this message saying so, in which case I will work with the RFC
Production Center team to make appropriate edits so that you are still credited
with work, but as contributors.
Otherwise, please take a little while to review each of text, html, and PDF the
files below and indicate your approval or what changes you would like to see.
A lot of work has gone into getting the document to a publishable state. It's
time to finish the job.
Thanks much for your prompt attention to this matter.
