[apps-discuss] The webfinger and the acct: scheme documents

["Murray S. Kucherawy" <[e-mail]>]

Greetings,

APPSAWG has now sent three documents, half of its recent docket, to the
IESG for IETF Last Call.  We have three open documents remaining:

draft-ietf-appsawg-malformed-mail
draft-ietf-appsawg-json-pointer
draft-ietf-appsawg-json-patch

These remain in active development.  Having cleared those other three
documents, we'd like to bring in and begin processing webfinger, which
we've been holding outside the WG until we cleared some backlog.  I'd like
to thank the authors and participants for their patience as we worked
through those other projects, and the rest of you for your work in getting
the others off to the next steps in their lifecycle.

The authors of draft-jones-appsawg-webfinger are invited to submit
draft-ietf-appsawg-webfinger-00, and we'll approve it.

Now, a question: The "acct:" scheme URI work is an offshoot of webfinger.
PSA has recently posted a document that separates that work out.  So what
is working group consensus: Should these be processed as two documents in
parallel (and should APPSAWG take them on), or should they be processed as
a single document?
