The IESG has received a request from the OSI Directory Services working
group to recommend the Internet Draft "A String Representation of
Distinguished Names" <draft-ietf-osids-distnames-02> 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 August
10th.
