Would be nice if section 1.1 said "ABNF" when pointing to 5234.

IANA understands that upon approval of this document, there are four
IANA Actions that need to be completed.

First, in the Sieve Extensions registry located at:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/sieve-extensions

a new registration will be added as follows:

Capability name: extlists
Description: Adds the ":list" match type to certain Sieve tests, and the
":list" argument to the "redirect" action. The ":list" match type
changes tests to match values against values stored in one or more
externally stored lists.
The ":list" argument to the redirect action changes the redirect action
to forward the message to email addresses stored in the externally
stored list.
RFC Number: [ RFC-to-be ]
Contact address: Sieve mailing list

Second, in the ManageSieve Capabilities registry in the ManageSieve
Registries located at:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/managesieve/managesieve.xml

the following capability will be added:

Capability name: extlists
Description: This capability is returned if the server supports the
"extlists" [[this RFC]] Sieve extension.
Relevant publication: [ RFC-to-be ]
Contact: Sieve mailing list
Author/change controller: IESG

Third, IANA will create a new registry inside the "Sieve Extensions"
located at:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/sieve-extensions

The registry will be named "Sieve URN Parameters"

Registration into this registry is according to the "Specification
Required" policy as defined by RFC 5226.

Each new registration will include

- URN parameter name
- Reference
- URN parameter syntax
- Intended usage
- Interoperability considerations
- Security considerations
- Contact

There will be a single, initial new registration in this new registry as
follows:

URN parameter name: addrbook

Reference: [ RFC-to-be ]

URN parameter syntax: The "addrbook" parameter is defined by the
rule, defined using ABNF [RFC5234]:

addrbook-urn = "addrbook:" addrbook [ "?" extensions ]
addrbook = segment
;  defined in [RFC3986]
extensions = query
;  defined in [RFC3986]

Intended usage: "addrbook" URNs are used for designating references to
address books. An address book is a concept used by different
applications (such as Sieve interpreters) for describing a list of named
entries, and may be translated into other types of address books, such
as LDAP Groups. Address books may be private or shared; they may be
personal, organizational, or perhaps even "crowdsourced".

The address book name (the "addrbook" element in the ABNF above) refers
to a specifically named address book, as defined by the implementation.
A user might, for example, have access to a number of different address
books, such as a personal one, a family one, a company one, and one for
the town where the user lives.

The extension information (the "extensions" element in the ABNF above)
is available for use in future extensions. It might allow for things
such as dynamic subsets of an address book -- for example, something
such as this might be defined in the future:

urn:ietf:params:sieve:addrbook:personal?name.contains=fred

There are no extensions defined at this time.

An "addrbook" URN is designed to be used by applications for referencing
address books. Each URN is intended to represent a grouping of addresses
that can be logically thought of as one "book". Any given address can
belong to more than one book -- that is, can be referred to by more than
one URN.

The URI "urn:ietf:params:sieve:addrbook" has no meaning in itself. It
MUST be used with sub-parameters representing the address book name and
extension information, as shown in the ABNF above.

The sub-parameter "default" (creating the URN
"urn:ietf:params:sieve:addrbook:default") is a reserved (case-
insensitive) name that MUST be implemented, representing a default
grouping (book) of addresses. Other names, representing the same or
other groupings MAY be implemented. For example, an implementation might
use the following sub-parameters:

* personal -- a book representing the user's personal address
book.

* friends -- a subset of urn:ietf:params:sieve:addrbook:personal,
defined by the user.

* family -- a subset of urn:ietf:params:sieve:addrbook:personal, defined
by the user.

* company -- a book representing user's company's address book.

* department -- a subset of urn:ietf:params:sieve:addrbook:company,
defined by the company.

* co-workers -- a subset of urn:ietf:params:sieve:addrbook:company,
defined by the user.

* default -- the default address book, a reference to
urn:ietf:params:sieve:addrbook:personal.

Security considerations: Applications SHOULD ensure appropriate
restrictions are in place to protect sensitive information that might be
revealed by "addrbook" URNs from access or modification by untrusted
sources.

Contact: Sieve mailing list

Fourth, in the IETF URN Sub-namespace for Registered Protocol Parameter
Identifiers registry in the IETF Protocol Parameter Identifiers located at:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/params/params.xml

the following URN Sub-Namespace will be registered:

Registered Parameter Identifier: sieve
Reference: [ RFC-to-be ]
IANA Registry Reference: [ the REGISTRY, newly created, in step 3 above ]

IANA understands that, upon approval of this document, these four
actions are the only one needed to be completed by IANA.

"Implementations MAY support other tests but MUST raise an error
(which SHOULD be a compile-time error, but MAY be a runtime error) when
a script uses ":list" with a test for which it is not supported."

That's a bit unclear - what's the last "it"? Maybe s/for which it/that/

Reply-To: ietf@ietf.org
Subject: Last Call:  (Sieve Extension: Externally Stored Lists) to Proposed Standard


The IESG has received a request from the Sieve Mail Filtering Language WG
(sieve) to consider the following document:
- 'Sieve Extension: Externally Stored Lists'
  as a Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-06-06. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


  The Sieve scripting language can be used to implement whitelisting,
  blacklisting, personal distribution lists, and other sorts of list
  matching.  Currently, this requires that all members of such lists be
  hardcoded in the script itself.  Whenever a member of a list is added
  or deleted, the script needs to be updated and possibly uploaded to a
  mail server.

  This document defines a Sieve extension for accessing externally
  stored lists -- lists whose members are stored externally to the
  script, such as using LDAP (RFC 4510), ACAP (RFC 2244), CardDAV (work
  in progress), or relational databases.

No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
