IESG's Review of EMSD Specification

[Mohsen BANAN <mohsen@neda.com>]

The IESG,


On November 3, 1998, more than 12 weeks ago,
the RFC Editor referred to you the EMSD
specification for your review.

The initial timeout expired on Nov. 17,
1998. 

On November 20, 1998 you requested an 
extension through January. 


On January 9, 1999, the RFC Editor notified
you of his approval for publication of EMSD
as an Informational RFC and requested for
the IESG paragraph.

The IESG, has already had 12 weeks to review
this specification.

At this time, all that remains is for the
IESG to prepare the IESG note for this
Informational RFC (as communicated on Nov 8,
1998).

  Keith> I understand that.  However, IESG was asked by the RFC Editor to

I expect that the RFC Editor will receive an
IESG note to be included with the published
document by the end of next week.


>From my perspective, the IESG delays have
been excessive.  I have been quite patient
over the past 3 months.


Please complete the IESG Note for this
Informational RFC and send it to the RFC
Editor soon.


Respectfully Yours,

...Mohsen.
