So what does the following mean?

"The IESG has approved following document:

"- 'Extensions to FTP '
"   <draft-ietf-ftpext-mlst-16.txt> as a Proposed Standard"

I thought that meant it was on its way to RFC-hood.

Ignore the subject line - we moved on from there to specific kinds of
RFC2228-compatible FTP extensions, and specifically,
draft-murray-auth-ftp-ssl-12.txt, "Securing FTP with TLS" [which I really
hope will become known as simply "ftps"].

It doesn't appear that this particular document is under any WG's aegis.
Maybe it should be brought under ours?

Alun.
