Subject: Document Action: 'Internet Mail Architecture' to Informational RFC

The IESG has approved the following document:

- 'Internet Mail Architecture '
    <draft-crocker-email-arch-14.txt> as an Informational RFC

This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an
IETF Working Group.

The IESG contact person is Alexey Melnikov.

Technical Summary

   Public discussion of the Internet Mail service often lacks
   common terminology and a common frame of reference for these
   components and their activities.  Having a common reference
   model and terminology makes a basic difference when talking
   about problems with the service, changes in policy, or
   enhancement to the service's functionality.  This document
   offers an enhanced Internet Mail architecture that targets
   description of the existing service, in order to facilitate
   clearer and more efficient technical, operations and policy
   discussions about email.

Working Group Summary

   This document was discussed within the mail community on the
   mailing lists dedicated to SMTP and the Mail Format. Some of the
   terms came about as a compromise after long discussions, but
   rough consensus was achieved on all points. Members of the
   working groups dealing with IMAP and LEMONADE were aware of this
   effort, but it was not an appropriate topic for those working
   groups to place on their charters. There is no other current
   working group dealing with the mail system in general.

Document Quality

   This document does not create a protocol specification.

   The acknowledgments indicate that Graham Klyne, Pete Resnick
   and Steve Atkins provided thoughtful insight on the framework
   and details of the original drafts. A number of other people
   have provided additional reviews and insights.

Personnel

   Who is the Document Shepherd for this document? Tony Hansen
   Who is the Responsible Area Director? Chris Newman and Alexey Melnikov
   have reviewed this document for IESG.
