A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: IETF:  Proposed Organizational Changes
	Author(s)	: P. Lyons
	Filename	: draft-lyons-proposed-changes-statement-00.txt,.pdf
	Pages		: 0
	Date		: 2004-10-1
	
This memo outlines the nature of the Internet Engineering 
Task Force (IETF) as an unincorporated association, reviews 
some history of the IETF Secretariat relevant to the 
current structure of the organization, and proposes steps 
that might be taken to move forward in the interest of the 
Internet community more generally.  Since the IETF serves 
as a focal point in the technical evolution of the Internet 
infrastructure, it is important that any organizational 
changes take into account the wider public interest.  
Considerations of who provides support to the IETF hinge on 
the legal status of the IETF itself.  Steps should be taken 
to clarify this matter as a first priority.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
