Hi Bernie,

I am a bit puzzeled that according to

draft-gould-rfc4310bis has already been placed on the IESG Telechat agenda, before the IETF Last Call has even ended.

Did this happen intentionally or by mistake?

Many Area Directors put documents on IESG telechats before IETF Last Calls are over. In such cases Area Directors assume that any issues will be settled before the selected telechat date. But a document can be moved to another telechat or taken off any particular telechat at any moment.

Please be informed that on the provreg mailing list

  http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2010-01/maillist.html

there is a heavy discussion going on about the shortcomings of the current proposal. At least two issues have been identified so far:

1) XML namespace (interoperability issues as with the current proposal
   the feature negotiation does not work anymore as defined by the EPP
   core spec)

2) need for active / inactive flag (e.g. to mark a DS to be used for
   emergency key rollover)

Before these (and other) issues have been resolved, IMHO it does not make sense to discuss the I-D on the IESG Telechat.

The current proposal is still premature.

Ok, I will make sure the issues are resolved before the document goes to IESG.

Furthermore due to lack of a Working Group (and lack of an _official_ IETF mailing list for EPP

Can you please explain your concerns about lack of an official IETF mailing list?

), many stakeholders are not even aware of EPP proposals going through standardization, which is somewhat in contradiction to the IETF transparency goals.

Have a nice weekend!

cheers,
 Bernie
