RE: Documents for the WG
Ed, We have a continuous interest in containers and beep transport. However, they are not high on our priority right now. We hope that we would be able to revisit them in the future. We also think that the guideline document is very important. We would like to participate in the effort when the time comes. We will try to put out an I-D on "push" as an individual contribution to the WG for the next IETF meeting in Yokohoma in July.

If anyone feels to submit input on these, go ahead, I'd prefer that we get comments into the archives. There are four/five items to talk about under the subject of documents... 1) Containers - We've seen no discussion generated by the message I sent nearly two weeks ago. We'll soon be requesting that that document be dropped from the WG list. 2) Transport via BEEP - During the meeting this document got a warm reception, but not an overwhelming one. Comments on this? A few folks did have an interest, but no one has stepped forward to volunteer to be an editor/author. 3) Transport via SMTP - This also got a warm reception. We are pursuing volunteers to either edit or provide content for this. One side comment: there are a lot of ccTLD's that are currently relying on SMTP for registration - of course without EPP. Some of the TLDs plan to pick up EPP when it is available, there is a question of whether the TLDs will also switch from e-mail to TCP as a "transport". If the switch is to TCP, then perhaps transport over e-mail gets by-passed. 4) Guidelines for Extentions - This document arose from situations in which proposed extensions to EPP might break EPP. Over the next few months, as implemenations begin and/or mature, there may be enough gathered wisdom to document a reference on how to extend EPP. The provreg group will not last for the lifetime for EPP, and Scott may not be available to advise others on how to extend EPP, so we should document some examples. And I am not implying that Scott should write this. This document got some initial support at the meeting, but it is probably too early to write this. 5) "Push" - There was to be a "push" document at one time. It seems to have been largely forgotten. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis NAI Labs Phone: +1 443-259-2352 Email: lewis@tislabs.com Opinions expressed are property of my evil twin, not my employer.
