Re: Minutes from Minneapolis

Since the meeting minutes have been out on the list for 8 days with no 
comments, I take it they're uncontroversial, and therefore approved.

I-D Action:draft-ietf-eai-downgrade-10.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Email Address Internationalization Working Group of the IETF.

	Title           : Downgrading mechanism for Email Address Internationalization
	Author(s)       : K. Fujiwara, Y. Yoneya
	Filename        : draft-ietf-eai-downgrade-10.txt

Traditional mail systems handle only ASCII characters in SMTP
envelope and mail header fields.  The Email Address
Internationalization (UTF8SMTP) extension allows UTF-8 characters in
SMTP envelope and mail header fields.  To avoid rejecting
internationalized Email messages when a server in the delivery path
does not support the UTF8SMTP extension, some sort of converting
mechanism is required.  This document describes a downgrading
mechanism for Email Address Internationalization.  Note that this is
a way to downgrade, not tunnel.  There is no associated up-conversion
mechanism, although internationalized email clients might use
original internationalized addresses or other data when displaying or
replying to downgraded messages.

I-D Action:draft-ietf-eai-dsnbis-00.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Email Address Internationalization Working Group of the IETF.

	Title           : Internationalized Delivery Status and Disposition Notifications
	Author(s)       : C. Newman, A. Melnikov
	Filename        : draft-ietf-eai-dsnbis-00.txt
	Pages           : 18
	Date            : 2008-12-16

Delivery status notifications (DSNs) are critical to the correct
operation of an email system.  However, the existing Draft Standards
(RFC 3461, RFC 3462, RFC 3464) are presently limited to US-ASCII text
in the machine-readable portions of the protocol.  This specification
adds a new address type for international email addresses so an
original recipient address with non-US-ASCII characters can be
correctly preserved even after downgrading.  This also provides
updated content return media types for delivery status notifications
and message disposition notifications to support use of the new
address type.

This document experimentally extends RFC 3461, RFC 3464, and RFC
3798.
