    * Reviewed updated list of Draft Standards to be progressed by working group.  Eight documents have been dropped from the list, mostly related to Internet Fax.  

    * Open question of whether the dropped documents should be moved to Historic. Some opposed.

    * Reviewed all documents on our list, including dependencies of each

    * Discussion on timeouts in 4409.
    * 4409 inherits the 5321 timeouts, which are much larger than desirable for submission clients.
    * While this seems to be working well enough in practice that we could get away with doing nothing, we agree to an Action item: Randy will add purely informative text saying something like "Note to implementers: while the SMTP timeouts are legal, many submission clients don't wait for the full timeout, and hence a good quality MSA will respond much quicker than the maximum permitted by SMTP."

    * Issue: MIME has down-ref to 822 for old abnf.  Options: (1) do abnf ("8bnf") extraction from 822; (2) move ahead with document with current 8bnf; (3) move ahead with current 8bnf in doc, but add cross-referenced annotations pointing at updated definitions along with text saying "be aware of multiple BNFs"
    * Resolution: rough consensus for option #3.

    * Action item: chairs to corner Mark Nottingham and ask him about 3282

    * Action item: chairs to ask Harald about use of 3282 (and cc Alexey).  Alexey volunteers Martin Dürst.

    * Communication with IESG will be through Internet Drafts not intended to be published as RFCs. Reviewed initial template written by Chris Newman.

    * Action item: Dave Crocker to handle template for RFC 1652, 8-bit MIME, as first version of template to go to the IESG.  First version due from him Aug. 15. It will be reviewed, WGLC'd and sent to IESG. The biggest reasons to choose it are that it's simple and should help debug the process before moving forward with other, more complex, documents.
