Re: [Simple] simple-chat status

I believe we should finish what we already started. CCMP does not interest me.

Hi,

We originally started work on draft-ietf-simple-chat back in 2007, with the idea that we could finish it quickly, and have something that works prior to completion of similar, but more general work in XCON.

It's been two years now, so we clearly didn't finish it quickly, and it's been sitting without update or discussion since last spring. (Please don't take that as a complaint against the authors. I don't mean it that way--we're all busy here.) We are looking at how to get the draft moving again, but there's an important question we should address first:

Is simple-chat still relevant? Should we take the effort to fix it, or should we shoot that milestone in the head?

To recap, we WGLC'd simple-chat last April. There were non-trivial (but not necessarily earth-shattering) issues brought up in the feedback. That is, there's still at least a bit of work left to do on it.

Perhaps Adam or Alan could comment on the status of the related work in XCON?

Thanks!

Ben.
