The IESG has approved the following document:

- 'Protecting Multiple Contents with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) '
   <draft-housley-contentcollection-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard

This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an
IETF Working Group. 

The IESG contact person is Sam Hartman.

Technical Summary
 
 This protocol allows more than one object to be protected in one CMS object. 
While not an issue for email, where MIME and provide the necessary structure,
other uses of CMS do not provide the same sort of facility.  This fills that
void.
 
Protocol Quality
 
 Steve Bellovin reviewed the document for the IESG.
