Well,

Having heard two replies in favor and none against, we will take Andy Newton
up on his offer to provide an XML Schema for the IDMEF.

Look for an updated Internet-Draft in the late April/early May time frame.

Hi all

We will NOT be meeting at the 56th IETF.  As I think everyone knows,
the IESG has reviewed all 4 of our documents.  With the result that
all, but the IDMEF document, are in the RFC editor queue.   There will
be another IDMEF draft which will move to a schema from the current
DTD.  There are also a couple of other IESG issues related to IDMEF
which can be handled at the same time.

mike
