Message-ID: <9210131741.aa07241@IETF.NRI.Reston.VA.US>

After revising the proposal, the OSI Directory Services working group
recommended to the IESG that the Internet Draft "A String
Representation of Distinguished Names" <draft-ietf-osids-distnames-03.txt, .ps>
be published as a Proposed Standard.

The OSI Directory uses distinguished names as the primary keys to
entries in the directory.  Distinguished Names are encoded in ASN.1.
When a distinguished name is communicated between to users not using a
directory protocol (e.g., in a mail message), there is a need to have a
user-oriented string representation of distinguished name.

The IESG plans to make a recommendation in the next few weeks and
solicits fomal comments on this action.  Please send any comments to
the iesg@nri.reston.va.us, or ietf@isi.edu mailing lists by October 23rd.
