A couple of comments on the draft charter:
* The name of the WG. I like the CLEAR acronym. I might
change "Low-level" to "Low-overhead." Low-level implicitly
attacks what we are proposing, while "Low-overhead"
reinforces the standards.
I don't object.
* I support all except two of the edits which Matthew has
made at:
http://wiki.fastmail.fm/wiki/index.php/ClearCharter
:)
- If the change Low-level to Low-overhead is accepted, then
change references to Low-level in the text to Low-overhead.
It's a wiki; DIY. :)
- The qualifier of "mainstream" in the sentence:
"The techniques will be compatible with usage and
operations practices for Internet mail."
When I first looked at this, I agreed. However,
"mainstream" is open to interpretation and the sentence as
written implies compliance with applicable RFCs and BCPs.
If people wish to make it explicit, might I suggest
rewriting the sentence to read:
"The techniques will be compatible with usage and
operations practices for Internet mail based on applicable
RFCs and BCPs."
From CSV:
"A sending SMTP client MUST supply a published domain name as the
parameter to an SMTP HELO or EHLO."
If that's consistent wiwth applicable RFCs, then I support Glube's text.
