The IESG has received a request from the midcom WG to consider the following document: - 'MIDCOM Protocol Semantics ' RFC 3989 as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send any comments to the iesg@ietf.org or ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2006-12-21. The file can be obtained via http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3989.txt Please note that this document contains 4 normative references: [MDC-FRM] Srisuresh, P., Kuthan, J., Rosenberg, J., Molitor, A., and A. Rayhan, "Middlebox communication architecture and framework", RFC 3303, August 2002. [MDC-REQ] Swale, R., Mart, P., Sijben, P., Brim, S., and M. Shore, "Middlebox Communications (midcom) Protocol Requirements", RFC 3304, August 2002. [NAT-TERM] Srisuresh, P. and M. Holdrege, "IP Network Address Translator (NAT) Terminology and Considerations", RFC 2663, August 1999. [NAT-TRAD] Srisuresh, P. and K. Egevang, "Traditional IP Network Address Translator (Traditional NAT)", RFC 3022, January 2001. These 4 references to informational documents are not what would be normally considered normative references in a standards track documents. This is a result of the propsed reclassification from informational to proposed standard. Therefore this last call explicitly identifies these as downrefs. This downref last call according to RFC 3967 shall not be considred a precedence for using the above reference in the future as normative references without an last call. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
