Hi Alexey,

Hi Cyrus,
All your changes (but one, see below) look good to me.

3.  Requirements Overview

   o  MUST support secure transport as defined in [RFC2818] using TLS
      [RFC5246];

This recently came up in review of
draft-ietf-geopriv-http-location-delivery-15.txt:

RFC 2818, Section 3.1 says:

  Matching is performed using the matching rules specified by
  [RFC2459].  If more than one identity of a given type is present in
  the certificate (e.g., more than one dNSName name, a match in any one
  of the set is considered acceptable.) Names may contain the wildcard
  character * which is considered to match any single domain name
  component or component fragment. E.g., *.a.com matches foo.a.com but
  not bar.foo.a.com. f*.com matches foo.com but not bar.com.

Based on the discussion during an IESG telechat several ADs agreed that
f* wildcards shouldn't be allowed anymore. So, the document should say
that it complies with RFC 2818, except for f* type wildcards are not
allowed. (wildcards in the leftmost label are still allowed). This is
consistent with the advice from RFC 5280.


I also think this document should reference RFC 5280.

I have changed the text to:

  o  MUST support secure transport as defined in [RFC2818] using TLS
     [RFC5246] and using the certificate validation procedures
     described in [RFC5280];

Is that sufficient?

I will reply to this separately. The short answer is that it is better, but not sufficient. However I don't consider this issue to be blocking as far as IETF LC is concerned.

I have just posted draft -08 that contains all the changes listed here. Hopefully this is now ready for IESG last call?

I didn't hear answer to my main question: why is this document requiring support for vCard 3.0 and not for vCard 4.0?
