The IESG has received a request from the ART Area General Applications Working Group WG (appsawg) to consider the following document: - 'The file URI Scheme' <draft-ietf-appsawg-file-scheme-13.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-12-06. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies the "file" Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) scheme, replacing the definition in RFC 1738. It defines a common syntax which is intended to interoperate across the broad spectrum of existing usages. At the same time it notes some other current practices around the use of file URIs. Note to Readers (To be removed by the RFC Editor) This draft should be discussed on the IETF Applications Area Working Group discussion list <apps-discuss@ietf.org>. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-appsawg-file-scheme/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-appsawg-file-scheme/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
