Mr. Banan,

You will be happy, I assume, to hear that the RFC Editor staff has been
diligently pursuing the process of making a decision about whether to
publish your document.  This has included consultation with relevant
IESG members at the recent IETF meeting.  We would have certainly
included you in the discussion if you had attended the IETF meeting.

There is specified a minimum time, but otherwise the time period
is determined by the judgment of the RFC Editor.  Taking into
consideration earlier events concerning your document, we have
decided to await a full recommendation from the IESG before
making a final decision on publication.  You may be assured
that we share your anxiety to reach a conclusion on this issue.
