Last Call: draft-ietf-sip-certs (Certificate Management Service for The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)) to Proposed Standard

[The IESG <[e-mail]>]

The IESG has received a request from the Session Initiation Protocol WG 
(sip) to consider the following document:

- 'Certificate Management Service for The Session Initiation Protocol 
   (SIP) '
   <draft-ietf-sip-certs-09.txt> as a Proposed Standard

This version of this document was also reviewed in IETF LC in September 2009.

This last call focuses on a down-reference that was not explicitly called out
during that last call.

    [RFC2898]  Kaliski, B., "PKCS #5: Password-Based Cryptography
               Specification Version 2.0", RFC 2898, September 2000.

Is a normative reference, but is itself an Informational document.

Version -07 of this document (IETF LCed in January 2009) contained this text:
              This reference is normative.  The mechanisms used in this
              specification from RFC2898 are stable and sutable for use
              in a standards track specification.  RFC2898 has been used
              as a normative reference in several prior standards track
              documents including RFC3185, RFC3370, RFC3962, and
              RFC4656.

This Last Call focuses only on whether that down-reference is appropriate.

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action.  Please send substantive comments to the
[e-mail] mailing lists by 2010-03-17. Exceptionally, 
comments may be sent to [e-mail] instead. In either case, please 
retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
