   The charset reviewer must reach a decision and post it to the ietf-
   charsets mailing list within two weeks.  Decisions made by the
   reviewer may be appealed to the IESG.

3.3.  IANA Registration

   Provided that the charset registration has either passed review or
   has been successfully appealed to the IESG, the IANA will register
   the charset, assign a MIBenum value, and make its registration
   available to the community.

4.  Location of Registered Charset List

   Charset registrations will be posted in the anonymous FTP file
   "ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets" and all
   registered charsets will be listed in the periodically issued
   "Assigned Numbers" RFC [currently RFC-1700].  The description of the
   charset MAY also be published as an Informational RFC by sending it
   to "[e-mail]" (please follow the instructions to RFC
   authors [RFC-1543]).

5.  Charset Registration Template

     To: [e-mail]
     Subject: Registration of new charset [names]

     Charset name:

     (All names must be suitable for use as the value of a
     MIME content-type parameter.)

     Charset aliases:

     (All aliases must also be suitable for use as the value of
     a MIME content-type parameter.)

     Suitability for use in MIME text:

     Published specification(s):

     (A specification for the charset MUST be
     openly available that accurately describes what
     is being registered. If a charset is defined as
     a composition of one or more CCS's and a CES then these
     definitions MUST either be included or referenced.)

     ISO 10646 equivalency table:

     (A URI to a specification of how to translate from
     this charset to ISO 10646 and vice versa SHOULD be
     provided.)

     Additional information:

     Person & email address to contact for further information:

     Intended usage:

     (One of COMMON, LIMITED USE or OBSOLETE)

6.  Security Considerations

   This registration procedure is not known to raise any sort of
   security considerations that are appreciably different from those
   already existing in the protocols that employ registered charsets.

7.  Changes made since RFC 2278

   Inclusion of a mapping to ISO 10646 is now recommended for all
   registered charsets.  The registration template has been updated to
   include this as well as a place to indicate whether or not the
   charset is suitable for use in MIME text.
