3.  Section 2.5.2  This is a politics question and one I am not capable of

change this at this point in time.  I don't see IMC as disappearing any time
soon and from what I hear it would be much faster to get updates than using
IANA.  But I don't know if the IESG will be willing to leave this as it is.

IMC is not the registration agent for the S/MIME working group.  RSADSI
gave an arc to the working group when they released the S/MIME v2 and
related specifications.  I have performed the registration actions for that
arc.  That arc belongs to the IETF S/MIME WG.

IMC has been distributing information about the arc.  Paul has been very
helpful in distributing this information. TheS/MIME WG has geatly benifited
from the IMC Web site.
