The IESG has received a request from the ART Area General Applications<br>
Working Group WG (appsawg) to consider the following document:<br>
- 'The file URI Scheme'<br>
<draft-ietf-appsawg-file-<wbr>scheme-13.txt> as Proposed Standard<br>
<br>
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits<br>
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the<br>
<a href="mailto:ietf@ietf.org">ietf@ietf.org</a> mailing lists by 2016-12-06. Exceptionally, comments may be<br>
sent to <a href="mailto:iesg@ietf.org">iesg@ietf.org</a> instead. In either case, please retain the<br>
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.<br>

Abstract<br>
<br>
<br>
This document specifies the "file" Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)<br>
scheme, replacing the definition in RFC 1738.<br>
<br>
It defines a common syntax which is intended to interoperate across<br>
the broad spectrum of existing usages. At the same time it notes<br>
some other current practices around the use of file URIs.<br>
<br>
Note to Readers (To be removed by the RFC Editor)<br>
<br>

Group discussion list <<a href="mailto:apps-discuss@ietf.org">apps-discuss@ietf.org</a>>.<br>
