Quick Notes from San Diego

- Philip Guenther and Barry Leiba were encouraged to start planning a BoF on notifications of events from email systems (BIFF, maybe?). 

- Some discussion on how to bring SMTP on up the standards track -- I think this will be pursued on ietf-smtp <at> imc.org.

Document Status and progress

PUBLISHED documents this month: none

APPROVED documents this month: none

Documents in IESG Evaluation: 

- draft-ietf-usefor-usefor-10, Usenet article format revision: Two IESG DISCUSS issues open.   May need to add normative dependency to UsePro draft, in order to get full implementability and have complete security considerations.

Documents in IETF Last Call: none

Documents in AD Evaluation or otherwise waiting on me:

- draft-snell-atompub-feed-license-09.txt (Informational): New version produced in November to make sure the scope of the license is useful according to consensus that arose in last call.  Need to review.

Documents needing new versions:

- draft-ietf-atompub-protocol: Sent my AD evaluation questions and comments  to the AtomPub list; chairs promised new revision

- draft-ietf-sieve-3028bis-09: next version needs to deal with ABNF issues, nits, and long thread on escaping non-UTF8 data, IETF Last call questions and IANA question.

- draft-kunze-rfc2413bis (Informational, RFC Ed Submission): Author decided to do another revision.

- draft-gulbrandsen-collation-basic: dependency for IMAPEXT SORT; has list of open issues in draft.

Other/tracking:

- draft-melnikov-imap-expunged-02.txt: Dropped this document from my shepherding queue, as it's now going to be covered in a complementary Lemonade WG draft (draft-ietf-lemonade-reconnect-client).

- draft-ietf-imapext-sort-18 depends on draft-gulbrandsen-collation-basic-00.  

- draft-siemborski-rfc2554bis-05.txt added to my queue: author requesting reviews, then new version expected.

- draft-ietf-imapext-i18n-06.txt: WG last call in IMAPEXT happening again
