FW: ID Tracker State Update Notice: draft-hollenbeck-epp-rfc3730bis

It looks like the IESG approved the EPP -bis documents for Draft
Standard status at yesterday's telechat.  I expect that the formal
announcement will happen early next week.

Thanks to all of you who contributed to this effort.

Note: 3734bis (the TLS document) was a bit of a challenge within the
IESG due to the downref situation with TLS.  TLS is not a Draft Standard
itself and the TLS working group isn't currently working to advance a
version of TLS to Draft.  However, our dependency isn't on a particular
version of TLS.  Both of these factors allowed me to request application
of the "downref" procedures described in RFC 3967.

The IETF approved these procedures to deal with situations like this.
This document set was apparently the first to test these procedures, and
the IESG struggled through a discussion of how to apply them.  I expect
that the approval notice will contain some words to explain how the IESG
intends to apply them going forward.  We plowed some ground for the
benefit of the rest of the IETF community!
