All, I am looking for guidance on how to progress RFC 4648bis from Proposed Standard to Internet Standard. Datatracker for the document is here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-josefsson-rfc4648bis/ I believe the -01 version takes care of all RFC errata, and is essentially ready to progress but additional improvements are welcome. The effort is co-ordinated with issue tracker etc here: https://gitlab.com/jas/ietf-base-encoding /Simon
