The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'The Metalink Download Description Format '
<draft-bryan-metalink-28.txt> as a Proposed Standard
This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an
IETF Working Group.
The IESG contact person is Lisa Dusseault.
A URL of this Internet-Draft is:

Technical Summary
This document specifies Metalink, an XML-based download description
format. Metalink describes download locations (mirrors), checksums,
and other information. Clients can transparently use this
information to reliably transfer files.
Working Group Summary
This is not a WG product. It has been developed independently, and
achieved interoperability already. It was reviewed to a reasonable
extent within the IETF, e.g. the Apps Discuss mailing list.
Document Quality
There are interoperable implementations.
The XML Namespace registration depends on an expert who has not
been assigned yet, due to a change in processing of IANA registrations.
I need to check on the MIME type registration
Personnel
Lisa Dusseault is the sponsoring Area Director.
