The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'IMAP Access to IETF Email List Archives' <draft-sparks-genarea-imaparch-06.txt> as Informational RFC 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 2013-05-07. 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 The IETF makes heavy use of email lists to conduct its work. This often involves accessing the archived history of those email lists. Participants would like to have the ability to browse and search those archives using standard IMAP clients. This memo captures the requirements for providing a service that would allow such browsing and searching. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sparks-genarea-imaparch/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sparks-genarea-imaparch/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
