Which document are you referring to? If you're talking about
draft-freed-mime-p4-03.txt, it was last called on 29-Sep-2003. The announcement
of that last call was posted to the IETF list in the usual way. The document
was finally approved by the IESG on 28-Jan-2004; again with the usual
announcement sent to the IETF list.

However, various concerns relating to the registration of the text/red and
related media types as part of the AVT WG activities caused the IESG to
withdraw the document from the RFC Editor queue so additional changes to the
media type registration procedures section could be made. Additionally, I
suggested, and the IESG agreed, that it would be best to tease the media types
stuff out of the MIME document set at this point since media types are used in
lots of places besides MIME.

Accordingly, I have moved the specification of the media type specification and
registration procedures to another, separate document,
draft-freed-media-type-reg-01.txt. (The additional changes that have been made
in response to AVT needs are listed in the document's appendix.) I presume a
new last call will be needed to advance this specification to BCP at some point
in the future once it has been determined that the various issues have been
dealt with in a satisfactory way.

In the meantime draft-freed-mime-p4-03.txt has gone back into the RFC Editor
queue - an entirely reasonably thing to do IMO given that all the remaining
stuff is unchanged from what was approved back in January.

It is also my understanding that the IESG is currently following and will
continue to follow the revised procedures for registrations in the standards
tree that were specified in  draft-freed-mime-p4-02.txt. The AVT issues and
resulting changes are orthogonal IMO.
