If Russ' two step process goes forward, then the YAM working group's
current charter will be complete.
At that point, we will have some choices to make such as whether we shut
down the WG or whether we recharter.
When we started up YAM, we did discuss several possibilities for
post-Full Standard work, including working on the numerous documents
sitting in Proposed Standard state.
It will be up to the WG to make a decision when the time comes.

Dave,
If the proposal being promoted by Russ is chosen, then there's
nothing for
this wg to do: everything that is a candidate for the wg should
automatically already be at the final level. No?
I would hope that the YAM working group exists to improve the e-mail
related
RFCs.
Jari,
This might reflect continuing confusion about the purpose of the YAM
working group.
In pragmatic terms, as odd as it might seem, that is almost explicitly
NOT what
the working is chartered to do.
"Full" standard is really about community acceptance, rather than
being about improving the specifications. For YAM, the focus in
writing the charter was specifically NOT to make any interesting
changes. Anything that seems to call for interesting changes is
required to /disqualify/ the specification from further consideration...
