Hi all,

I just created a PR on bitcoin/bips for a proposed standard for creating
standard multisignature P2SH addresses given m, and a set of public keys.

https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/146

I used BIP0090 as a place-holder, but I would like to request a BIP
number for this now.

All the best,

We have had repeated problems in the past with people working on and
circulating prior draft proposals squatting on each others numbers,
and each demanding access to the same numbers. As a matter of
procedure I will not assign squatted numbers, but also discussion
should come in advance of number assignment; general subject here
seems reasonable but many proposals are withdrawn by the party
tendering them after further discussion shows the effort to be without
public interest or actually subsumed by other functionality. :)

Proposals should not be called "BIP[nn]" until they're actually a BIP.
  Feel free to call it bip-kerin-multisignature or any other
placeholder name that won't be confused with a finished BIP for
drafting.

If there is any public documentation on the process which caused you
specific confusion, please feel free to point me at it and I'll be
sure to fix it! Sorry for any confusion there.

Hi,

Perhaps at some point consider introducing something akin to a
'Bitcoin-Draft' (BD) status with some autoexpiry period?

I understand that the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
<http://www.ietf.org>  has the concept of 'Internet Drafts" (ID)
<http://www.ietf.org/ietf-ftp/1id-guidelines.txt> and this looks like it
has worked for them so far.

m2c.

Thats more or less what posting to the list is supposed to be.
Creating a draft document requires no approval, beyond filling out the
right form.

Perhaps calling out that as a distinct step would be better, indeed.

Understood... perhaps just add something like:

'After copy-editing and acceptance,* a BIP number is assigned* and it will
be published here.'?

ACK.  CryptoCorp uses this method for our external signer service.
