Subject: IPP> Consensus on sending our drafts to the IESG
The PWG has just held a meeting on IPP. In that meeting which also had a
phone conference, which together covered most of the active IPP
participants, the subject of Paul Moore's and Josh Cohen's proposal to
evaluate new alternatives for the protocol specification was discussed.
Although the proposal found some support and to have some technical merit,
it was clear that a considerable majority were not convinced that the
solutions proposed would offer a better alternative to our current solution
and preferred to go ahead with our current drafts without further delays.
I therefore believe that we have enough consensus to proceed with our
earlier plans to send the IPP Model & Semantics and the Protocol
Specification drafts to the IESG with the recommendation as Proposed
Standards, and our remaining three drafts as Informational RFCs.
I wish to see your reconfirmation of this consensus expressed on the IPP
DL.
I plan to send the drafts to the IESG next Friday on February 6th, 1998.
Regards,
Carl-Uno
