[apps-discuss] New appsawg documents

[Barry Leiba <[e-mail]>]

As noted in the minutes from IETF 81:
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/81/minutes/appsawg.txt
... the Applications Area Working Group is picking up seven new
documents.  After some post-IETF travel and catch-up, it's time for
your friendly neighbourhood chairs to start things moving on those
documents, and we've divided up the shepherding work.

Let's start with the list of documents, and a call for any objections:
Please respond to this message by this Friday, 2 September, if you
object to having the working group take on any of these documents:
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-holsten-about-uri-scheme
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zyp-json-schema
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kucherawy-mta-malformed
 http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-kucherawy-rfc3462bis
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-melnikov-mime-default-charset
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-saintandre-xdash
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-freed-media-type-regs

Meanwhile, the first three documents we'd like to focus on are these
(with the document's shepherd in parentheses):
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-holsten-about-uri-scheme (Jiankang)
 http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-kucherawy-rfc3462bis (Barry)
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-saintandre-xdash (Alexey)

I am currently pre-approving the following document names, so the
document editors can submit new versions under the working group's
auspices.  The document shepherds will soon be contacting the current
authors to discuss document editing within the working group -- note
that working group document editors will not necessarily be the same
as the original document authors, though we'll usually try to keep
continuity.

draft-holsten-about-uri-scheme
     will become
draft-ietf-appsawg-about-uri-scheme

draft-kucherawy-rfc3462bis
     will become
draft-ietf-appsawg-rfc3462bis

draft-saintandre-xdash
     will become
draft-ietf-appsawg-xdash

Once the shepherds have gotten in touch with the document editors, the
editors should incorporate whatever comments are outstanding, and
submit new working-group versions.  We'll then start discussing them
in earnest, and set up milestones for when we expect to complete them.
