The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'GSTN address element extensions in e-mail services' <draft-ietf-fax-fulladdr-06.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the Internet Fax Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Keith Moore and Patrik Faltstrom. Technical Summary This document defines a comprehensive syntax for incorporating E.164 telephone addresses on the Left Hand Side of electronic mail addresses. This syntax includes all of the elements previously defined within the standards track document RFC 2303 "Minimal PSTN address format in Internet Mail", plus additional elements that were not included within that document. This document also includes the necesssary IANA considerations so that current and future phone address elements can be properly registered after review within the IETF. This document has been under review in the WG and in other communities interested in telephony address elements during the past year. The document is believed to be stable and complete. In addition to its use in Internet FAX this address syntax is expected to be useful in the Voice Profile for Internet Mail (VPIM) work, and this work has been reviewed by a VPIM mailing list. It is also aligned with the tel: and fax: URLs recently approved for Proposed Standard status. Working Group Summary This document has benefitted from extensive review both within the FAX group and within other groups of interest. Protocol Quality Keith Moore reviewed the spec for IESG, and believes it is technically sound. Note to RFC Editor: Please be aware of the typo in section 1.1 1.1 Relathiship with Internet addressing other than e-mail ^^^^^^^^^^^ Relationship
