As MHTML WG Chair, thank you all very much for completing this
difficult year long process of final approval for our MHTML recycled
drafts at Proposed status. There certainly were a lot of hiccups all
around. It is really good to have it finally done.
As I recall, the work originated with a BOF at the '95 Dallas IETF, so
the entire process took a little over 4 years, which is twice as long
as MIME required.
At this point, I gather that the next step is to declare the MHTML WG
to be deactivated while work continues to advance the MHTML standard
to DRAFT STATUS. If it needs to be reactivated at some point, a new
Chair should be selected by the WG, as I am not the person that is
needed to complete the work.
It has been a very interesting exercise, and I am sure it is well
worth all the effort it took.
Cheers...\Stef
