Goldsmith wrote Dec. 4:

The IANA Charset registration process is still in the Internet Draft stage. My understanding is that until it is finalized, the IAB would rather just register critical character sets like UTF-8. I have been waiting for the process to be finalized. If someone wants to take it up

with the IETF about how critical UTF-16 or UTF-7 is, and they convince IANA to accept the registration, then I'll be happy to take care of the procedural aspects like writing up the registrations. Probably good people to contact for starters would be Ned Freed

<ned.freed@innosoft.com> and Jon Postel <Postel@ISI.EDU>, the authors of

the draft (draft-freed-charset-reg-04.txt).
