I hope this is ready to send to IETF-wide Last Call. This is your chance to get at it early :-)
Take care,
Harald

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : A Mission Statement for the IETF Author(s) : H. Alvestrand Filename : draft-alvestrand-ietf-mission-01.txt Pages : 16 Date : 2004-4-30 This memo gives a mission statement for the IETF, tries to define the terms used in the statement sufficiently to make the mission statement understandable and useful, argues why the IETF needs a mission statement, and tries to capture some of the debate that led to this point.
The appendix giving the debate is intended to be deleted when the RFC is published; it is only given here as a reference and a thank-you note

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-alvestrand-ietf-mission-01.txt".
A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt
Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.
Send a message to: mailserv@xxxxxxxxx In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-alvestrand-ietf-mission-01.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
