Ftp-WG: status of rfc 2228

The draft in question is currently an individual submission of Paul V 
Ford-Hutchinson
<[email protected]> who would like nothing more than to see this 
draft get approval. 

If you send an e-mail to the Internet-Draft editor indicating that the 
draft should now be considered a working group item, it will be 
relabeled as such. 

I have been trying for years to get the Security ADs to process it as an 
individual submission.  They are just too overloaded with work to deal 
with it.  It ends up in a pile.  Part of the reason that can happen is 
that individual submissions unlike working group items are not tracked 
by the IESG work flow system in the same way.
