Note Well

• Any submission to the IETF intended by the
  Contributor for publication as all or part of an
  IETF Internet-Draft or RFC and any statement made
  within the context of an IETF activity is
  considered an IETF Contribution. Such
  statements include oral statements in IETF
  sessions, as well as written and electronic
  communications made at any time or place, which
  are addressed to
• the IETF plenary session,
• any IETF working group or portion thereof,
• the IESG, or any member thereof on behalf of the
  IESG,
• the IAB or any member thereof on behalf of the
  IAB,
• any IETF mailing list, including the IETF list
  itself, any working group or design team list, or
  any other list functioning under IETF auspices,
• the RFC Editor or the Internet-Drafts function
• All IETF Contributions are subject to the rules
  of RFC 3978 and RFC 3979. Statements made outside
  of an IETF session, mailing list or other
  function, that are clearly not intended to be
  input to an IETF activity, group or function, are
  not IETF Contributions in the context of this
  notice.
• Please consult RFC 3978 for details.

Work Item Status

• BFCP Connection In RFC Editor Queue
• XCON Framework Complete. Will be requesting
  publication this week or next.
• Data Model Will be undergoing dedicated review,
  WCLG in the next few weeks.
• Conference Event Package We need more eyes
  looking at this document and discussing it.
• Conference Control Protocol We will begin work
  on operations after Data Model passes WGLC.

6
Working Group Status

• With the framework finished, the hard work seems
  to be behind us.
• However, we are way behind schedule -- we need to
  adjust the charter to at least make some of the
  dates in the future (and reflect consensus to
  remove templates from model).
• We expect that the pace for the remaining items
  should pick up significantly.
• If we dont, we need to stop creating scheduling
  conflicts at face-to-face meetings.

7
Data Model

• Appears to be mostly complete (no identified open
  issues remain)
• The chairs are requesting three volunteers to
  perform dedicated reviews by September 7th (six
  weeks)
• You should read it, too. Yes, I mean you.
• Will have a 2-week WGLC after the document is
  updated per dedicated review comments.

8
Text Chat

• Protocol-specific work currently ongoing in
  SIMPLE. This document will be referencing the
  XCON document for more advanced operations.
• The XCON chat authors plan to update this
  document with specific protocol operations as the
  XCON protocol continues to evolve.
• As input to this process, Adam will be producing
  a brief gap analysis document that attempts to
  identify where gaps exist between
  current/proposed mechanisms and existing deployed
  text chat systems.
