This message closes working group last call for "A 224-bit One-way Hash 
Function: SHA-224".  I have reviewed the comments on the list since 26 March 
(when Last Call was initiated.)  No technical issues are unresolved, so I am 
forwarding the document to the ADs for progression to RFC status.  As 
suggested by the authors, we are requesting Informational Track for this 
specification. This document is currently available at 

   http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pkix-sha224-01.txt.

This specification will provide a stable reference for the SHA-224 
algorithm, which is needed by several IETF specifications.  At least two 
independent implementations exist and agree on the test vectors in this 
document.
