IRC Update BOF (ircup)
Wednesday, April 9 at 1415-1515
===============================
DESCRIPTION:
IRC was first defined in RFC1459. Since then, many groups started
developing a set of extensions to IRC. This working group should
develop standards-track IRC protocol extensions which are broadly
useful. The working group will support and discuss interoperability
of the necessary implementations to demonstrate the proposed protocols'
utility. Extensions should be designed in such a way that existing
clients supporting the IRC protocol will work with servers supporting
IRCUP extensions.
Extensions will include, but not be limited to:
support of Unicode
authorization and security mechanisms
multi-layer security
unified property mechanism
IP multicast transport layer for a network of IRC clients
and servers
Linkage between IRC and applications based on other session-layer
protocols
CONTACT PERSON: John Noerenberg <jwn2@qualcomm.com>
AGENDA:
1) Review proposed charter
2) Formally introduce drafts that have been offered
3) Authors summarize their work to date, and goals of their protocol.
(BOF attendees will be encouraged to read the drafts and come
prepared with questions. Draft protocol design will not be debated
during the BOF) Discussion of protocol goals and their appropriateness.
4) Propose the location of WG-related mailing lists.
5) Outline development schedule for WG, should it be chartered.
6) Ask for sense of BOF whether a WG should be formed.
