The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'SMTP Service Extension for 8-bit MIME Transport '
<draft-ietf-yam-rfc1652bis-03.txt> as a Full Standard
This document is the product of the Yet Another Mail Working Group.
The IESG contact persons are Alexey Melnikov and Lisa Dusseault.
A URL of this Internet-Draft is:

Technical Summary
This document defines an extension to the SMTP service (8BITMIME)
whereby an SMTP content body consisting of text containing octets
outside of the US-ASCII octet range (hex 00-7F) may be relayed using
SMTP.
Working Group Summary
The YAM WG adopted a two-step approach to move this document to Full
Standard. The first step was a pre-evaluation of the existing
specification to identify changes and non-changes. The YAM WG
requested feedback from the IESG on those decisions. The second step
was to incorporate the changes into the document and ensure that any
implementation that conforms to the Draft Standard version of the
specification remains compliant with this document. There was no
controversy. There is consensus to move the specification to Full
Standard.
Document Quality
The document has a high degree of technical maturity. In the 16
years since publication, this specification has become an integral
part of all professional SMTP software products and is widely
supported in Internet Mail operations. Ned Freed rewrote part of the
text in Section 3 as the Draft Standard version was published prior
to the introduction of key words to indicate requirement levels.
Personnel
S. Moonesamy is the Document Shepherd for this document. Alexey
Melnikov is the Responsible Area Director.
