I plan to update registering-mediatype.html once the new ID is approved as an RFC. The RFC obviously does not say anything about the W3C side of the new process. I was thinking about exactly the same questions as above. I think review by the ietf-types mailing list should start early, e.g. at last call, and submission to the IESG should be done e.g. when going to CR, in order to not have implementers wonder about whether this is serious or not. That way, hopefully we will get IESG approval around PR or before REC. I'd appreciate everybody's opinion on this issue. >>draft-freed-mime-p4-04 >>posted by DanC at 2003-11-26 19:14 (+) >> >> DanC: Internet Draft by Freed, Klensin October 20, 2003 >> DanC: IETF tracker status says "In State: Waiting for Writeup" It's now actually in "IESG Evaluation" status (https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_state_desc& id=20), which is a serious step forward. It's on the IESG 'telechat' agenda for 2003-12-18, so we should know more in about two weeks! (not that the RFC will be published in 2 weeks, but we will know whether it will move forward, which I expect to happen). I have slightly updated http://www.w3.org/2002/06/registering-mediatype.html to express the current status and expectations.
