UTA WG met on Tue. All agenda topics relate to using TLS with e-mail protocols.
MTA-MTA interface: The drafts are very close to WG LC. The only real open issue remains the choice between Jason and tag-value format. Implementers choice is split 50/50. Vast majority (if not all) are OK with implementing either. The AD (Alexei) will suggest specific syntax for tag-value format. All interested parties (i.e., potential implementers) are encouraged to chime in on UTA list because we will be resolving this last issue in the upcoming weeks and moving the draft to LC. MUA-MTA interface: the draft has been further updated. The relevancy (and the complexity) of the proposed protocol has been questioned during the meeting. Even if the answer is "irrelevant", the BCP part of the draft is still very useful. The authors will investigate and proceed according to the results. (Potentially, the draft could be shorten or split and the status changed to BCP, Experimental, or both.) REQUIRE-TLS draft: the draft has been discussed and found valuable for specific critical cases. It was suggested to continue working on the draft with an intent to be adopted by UTA or other (new) WG going forward. Orit.
