Can you please provide it.)
"Section 2.5.2 This is a politics question and one I am not capable of
deciding. Do we need to change from using the IMC as the registration agent
for the OIDs of SMIMECapabilites? I don't see any techincal reasons to
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 authority. IMC is providing a location on
their Web site for distribution of the assigned OIDs. I am assigning OIDs
from the arc provided to the IETF S/MIME WG by RSA Labs.
