FYI, Alexey Melnikov posted as follows to the [email protected] list earlier today.
As I see it, this BOF would not necessarily result in chartering of another XMPP-related Working Group at the IETF, although that is one possible outcome. Mostly we think it's time to remind IETF folks that XMPP work continues, ask for their help in completing the bis drafts, and figure out if further work is needed or desired at the IETF. /psa *** Folks, After talking to Peter Saint-Andre, Dave Cridland and various other folks, there is a proposal to hold a BOF session during the San Francisco IETF (March 22-27, 2009). Peter Saint-Andre suggested that this mailing list can be reused for the BOF discussion. Based on feedback from Peter and Dave here is a draft proposal for a list of documents/topics to discuss during the BOF: 1). Base spec revision - recent changes and how IETF can help improve the document 2). XMPP interop report (draft-saintandre-xmpp-feature-set) 3). Mapping between XMPP and SIMPLE (draft-saintandre-sip-xmpp-core- * drafts) 4). Mobile XMPP optimizations 5). IDNA and stringprep in RFC 3920 vs. IDNAbis and improved Unicode handling or "profiling" in rfc3920bis 6). BOSH 7). XMPP server MIB 8). "Client Certificate Management for SASL EXTERNAL" (XEP-0257) and other certificate related stuff (e.g. XEP-0250) 9). end-to-end encryption 10). Security labels in XMPP 11). Discuss cooperation between XSF and IETF Comments are on the list are very welcome. Regards, Alexey ***
