The IESG has no problem with the publication of 'Syntax for binding documents with time stamps' <draft-santoni-timestampeddata-04.txt> as an Informational RFC. The IESG would also like the IRSG or RFC-Editor to review the comments in the datatracker (https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_id&dTag=16302&rfc_flag=0) related to this document and determine whether or not they merit incorporation into the document. Comments may exist in both the ballot and the comment log. The IESG contact person is Tim Polk. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-santoni-timestampeddata-04.txt The process for such documents is described at http://www.rfc-editor.org/indsubs.html. Thank you, The IESG Secretary Technical Summary This document describes a syntax which can be used to bind a generic document (or any set of data, not necessarily protected by means of cryptographic techniques) to one or more time-stamp tokens obtained for that document, where "time-stamp token" has the meaning defined in RFC 3161. Additional types of temporal evidence are also supported. Working Group Summary This document is not the product of any IETF WG. Protocol Quality The documents were reviewed by Tim Polk for the IESG. Carl Wallace also reviewed the document for conflicts with the LTANS working group. RFC Editor Note The IESG thinks that this work is related to IETF work done in the Long-Term Archive and Notary Services (ltans) WG, but this does not prevent publishing. IESG Note This RFC is not a candidate for any level of Internet Standard. The IETF disclaims any knowledge of the fitness of this RFC for any purpose and notes that the decision to publish is not based on IETF review apart from IESG review for conflict with IETF work. The standards track specification RFC 4998, Evidence Record Syntax (ERS), specifies an alternative mechanism. Readers are encouraged to also review RFC 4998 when evaluating the suitability of this mechanism. The RFC Editor has chosen to publish this document at its discretion. See RFC 3932 for more information. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
