Protocol Selection: Don’t Make Me Stop This Car
CCCP, CPCP, and CSCP have actual proposed speci?cations
Several other ideas have been ?oated informally, but no one has invested cycles in documenting them in a draft
Some are very general; e.g. proposals to “use SOAP” is about as well-specified as saying “use IP”.
We need to decide on a way forward.
Anyone with a proposal that has not been documented in a draft needs to either produce a draft or stop making proposals. Deadline is December 31st.
Between now and December 31st, interested parties should discuss criteria for evaluating protocols on the mailing list.
We will be taking volunteers to author a document to formally evaluate the proposals against the criteria and make a recommendation before March.
Goal is to have protocol speci?cation in IESG’s hands by end of 2006.
