This is a second last call for consideration of the following document from the S/MIME Mail Security WG (smime): - 'Using the Boneh-Franklin and Boneh-Boyen identity-based Encryption Algorithms with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) ' <draft-ietf-smime-bfibecms-10.txt> as a Proposed Standard Technical issues raised in IETF Last Call and IESG evaluation have been resolved. However, there have been substantive changes in the relevant IPR disclosures statements since the review process was initiated. Specifically, IPR disclosure statement #888, (see https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/888/) was replaced by PR disclosure statement #950, (see https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/950/) This Last Call is intended to confirm continued community support in light of the new IPR disclosure statement. Given the limited scope of this Last Call, an abbreviated time period has been selected.
Disclosure statement #888 mentions draft-martin-ibcs-08. That I-D was published as RFC 5091 in December 2007. Disclosure #950 submitted in May 2008 mentions new licensing terms for RFC 5091. That disclosure mentions that draft-ietf-smime-bfibecms-10 is on the Informational Track whereas it is on the Standards Track.
As there seems to be only one implementation and very little public discussion about the draft, I don't see why it should be on the Standards Track.
