John,
I acknowledge receipt of this appeal. It is not one I can
deal with myself, so it will be examined by the IESG as a whole,
as specified in RFC 2026 section 6.5.2 paragraph 2. As it is
a complex matter, I cannot yet estimate the time needed.
Regards
Brian

Brian,
This is a formal appeal addressed to you as IETF Chair and, if
necessary and appropriate, to the IESG, over the recent approval
of draft-ietf-lemonade-mms-mapping-04.txt, "Mapping Between the
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and Internet Mail" as a
proposed standard. The appeal is self-contained and
self-explanatory and proposes both specific and general remedies
to the problems it identifies. It raises questions, not only of
technical content, but of the procedures used to review
documents within WGs as well as between WGs and other areas of
expertise and the mechanisms used to determine adequacy of IETF
consensus.
The appeal necessarily takes no position on whether the problems
demonstrated by this particular document and its approval are
limited to it as an exceptional and deviant case or whether they
have more general implications, but perhaps that is a topic to
which the community should give some consideration in parallel
with your, and the IESG's, evaluation of the specific issues
raised.
regards,
john
