JXTA is a set of open, generalized peer-to-peer protocols that allow any connected device (cell phone, to PDA, PC to server) on the network to communicate and collaborate. The JXTA Community has been the home of JXTA development since April 2001. The projects managed by the JXTA Community span from multiple implementations of the JXTA Protocol Specification to numerous applications and services implemented on top of the various reference language binding implementations (J2SE, Personal Java, J2ME, C). The JXTA Community wishes to submit to the IETF the JXTA Protocol Specification encompassing the JXTA architecture, Identifiers, Message Formats, Core/Standard Services, and Transports common to all JXTA implementations. It is understood by the JXTA Community that upon acceptance by the IETF, the IETF will maintain full change control over the protocol specification. The JXTA Community will maintain change control over the reference implementations and applications/services built upon the JXTA Protocol Specification. It is expected that a JXTA WG if formed will consist of currently participating JXTA Community members and interested members from the IETF Community. This BOF is intended to raise and address any questions associated with the formation of a JXTA WG as well as introduce area of work that will be necessary for a successful completion of the working group effort. All members of the IETF interested in JXTA are urged to join the JXTA Community at http://www.jxta.org. Discussion on the subject of IETF participation will take place on the discuss@jxta.org mailing list which may be joined from http://www.jxta.org/project/www/maillist.html.
