Ned, Ted, IETF Secretary,
 
I am Hiroshi Tamura, a co-chair of IETF FAX WG.
 
The Internet Fax Working Group requests IESG approval for publication of 
the following 3 documents, with the specified status.

Document 1

File Format for Internet Fax
<draft-ietf-fax-tiff-fx-13.txt>

   This RFC 2301 revision describes the TIFF (Tag Image File Format)
   representation of image data specified by the ITU-T Recommendations
   for black-and-white and color facsimile. This file format
   specification is commonly known as TIFF-FX. It formally defines
   minimal, extended and lossless JBIG profiles (Profiles S, F, J) for
   black-and-white fax, and base JPEG, lossless JBIG and Mixed Raster
   Content profiles (Profiles C, L, M) for color and grayscale fax. 
   These profiles correspond to the content of the applicable ITU-T
   Recommendations.
