Re: OPES Re-Charter
2004-06-10 14:39:12
Folks,
from the responses so far and from earlier discussions, there is
interest in the OCP/SMTP profile and the rules language, and five
folks indicated their availability to work on these items.
Interest was also expressed on an "OCP Security" draft. However, given
past participation/experience and given that only five folks offered
active participation, one might be reluctant to add items on top of
the two mentioned above. As such, I'd suggest to keep a new charter
narrow and focused on OCP/SMTP profile and rules language. Once these
items have been completed successfully, additional items could
possibly be worked into a future re-charter.
The OCP/SMTP profile item seems pretty clear. Any specific things that
need to be considered when phrasing a charter item on that? Any
related work in the IETF we need to consider?
For the rules language, I'd like to have some more discussion on the
scope. Previous discussions drifted a little bit into the space of a
"programming language" for intermediary services. Originally, the
rules language was meant to simply indicate to an OPES processor which
services to invoke on a given message. Also, I'd assume that we'd
build on the previous work that was done on "P". Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Markus

Folks,
time to start discussion and work on a new charter for the WG. In case
there's enough interest and willingness to continue the work, let's try
to draft a new charter in time for the upcoming IETF meeting in San Diego.
BUT: WE'LL ONLY DRAFT A NEW CHARTER IF THERE ARE ENOUGH ACTIVE
PARTICIPANTS COMMITTED TO WORKING ON THE NEW ITEMS!
From previous discussions, the following candidate topics for
re-chartering have been discussed:
(1) Rules Language
(2) OCP profile for SMTP
(3) Support for streaming media
(4) Others?
Please indicate which topics are of interest to you, and whether you can
commit to work on the respective item(s). We can move forward only if
folks are able to spend the time required for making progress.
In the interest of having a very focused and narrow charter (and from
previous discussions), I would suggest to focus on the first two topics.
If this is agreeable, we'd continue to work on a charter for these two
items.
Unfortunately, Marshall will no longer be available as Co-Chair, due to
time commitments to other things. A big "Thank you" is in order for
Marshall's help and support in focusing the WG and moving it forward -
Thanks, Marshall.
We're trying to find a new Co-Chair, but will already start working on a
new charter.
Thanks,
Markus
