[EAI] status of Scenarios draft

Hello Harald,

It seems that the scenarios draft has expired. Do you plan to resubmit
it, or not?

Regards,     Martin.

[EAI] Re: status of Scenarios draft

I plan to resubmit it as soon as I have verified consistency with the 
framework draft. But getting the framework draft to the IESG is more 
important - and also requires me to do some homework.

             Harald

[EAI] Request for publication for draft-ietf-eai-framework-04 as INFORMATIONAL

The EAI WG hereby requests publication of draft-ietf-eai-framework-04 as 
an Informational document.
The EAI WG further requests that an IETF Last Call be performed on the
document prior to approval.

The writeup below is based on draft-ietf-proto-wgchair-doc-shepherding-08.

   (1.a)  Who is the Document Shepherd for this document?  Has the
          Document Shepherd personally reviewed this version of the
          document and, in particular, does he or she believe this
          version is ready for forwarding to the IESG for publication?

Harald Alvestrand is Document Shepherd. He has reviewed the document.

   (1.b)  Has the document had adequate review both from key WG members
          and from key non-WG members?  Does the Document Shepherd have
          any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that
          have been performed?

The review in the WG has been thorough, and many people who are not WG
members are aware of the document.
We think that the IETF would benefit from having its attention called to
the document, so that people are aware that the EAI experiment is being
tried, and so that any issues with the general approach taken can be 
raised before the WG settles on final specifications for the technical 
components of the proposal; this is the reason for asking for 
publication of this document before the technical specifications are 
finished.

   (1.c)  Does the Document Shepherd have concerns that the document

Re: [EAI] Last Call: draft-ietf-eai-framework (Overview and Framework for Internationalized Email) to Informational RFC

(1) This version still has some editor's notes.  Are these intended 
for publication?

(2) In section 1.3:
    An "i18mail user" has one or more non-ASCII email addresses.  Such a
    user may have ASCII addresses too; if the user has more than one
    email account and corresponding address, or more than one alias for
    the same address, he or she has some method to choose which address
    to use on outgoing email.  Note that under this definition, it is not
    possible to tell from the address that an email sender or recipient
    is an i18mail user.  There is no such thing as an "i18mail message";
    the term applies only to users and their agents and capabilities.

Does the second-to-last sentence refer to an ASCII address, or any 
address?  The wording implies any address, but if an address is 
non-ASCII, surely that is a good sign that the owner of that address 
is an i18mail user?

(3) In section 4.3:
     the risk should be
    minimized by the fact that the selection of submission servers are
    presumably under the control of the sender's client and the selection
    of potential intermediate relays is under the control of the
    administration of the final delivery server.

    [snip]

    For situations in which a client encounters a server that does not
    support UTF8SMTP, there are basically two possibilities:

No.  I had intended to change the xml2rfc parameters to shut
them off when I submitted the draft and forgot.  My apologies.
If they are significantly confusing to anyone, let me know and
I'll post a new version of the draft.

I don't think they're confusing, but some of them suggest unresolved issues.

No. The writeup didn't get copied into the Last Call, but as WG chair, I 
believe that the document is complete if all the editor's notes are 
deleted. Some of them point to areas that might be improved, but, in my 
opinion, such improvements are not a requirement for publication.

Right. The situation that is being warned against is taking an ASCII 
address as a clear sign that the address owner is not an i18mail user.

I'd like to see the text improved to make this more clear.  As a 
suggestion, replace:

      Note that under this definition, it is not possible to tell from
      the address that an email sender or recipient is an i18mail user.

with:

       Note that under this definition, it is not possible to tell from
       an ASCII address if an email sender or recipient is an i18mail
