Ah yes, the drafts.  In all my excitement I forgot to post their various names.  They are:

A Model for Reputation Interchange
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kucherawy-reputation-model/

A Media Type for Reputation Interchange
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kucherawy-reputation-media-type/

Reputation Data Interchange using the DNS
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kucherawy-reputation-query-dns/

Reputation Data Interchange using HTTP and XML
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kucherawy-reputation-query-http/

Reputation Data Interchange using UDP
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kucherawy-reputation-query-udp/

A Reputation Vocabulary for Email Identities
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kucherawy-reputation-vocab-identity/

A Reputation Vocabulary for Email Properties
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kucherawy-reputation-vocab-email/

The UDP one is mostly empty, intended as a placeholder in case the DNS one gets too much negative feedback.  It can be dropped if that turns out not to be the case.

Ideally I'd like to have one more vocabulary definition for something that is not email centric.  I'll try to put one together someday soon if nobody else beats me to it.

Subject: [domainrep] At long last, some drafts and a charter

Greetings,

Although there hasn't been much activity on this list in several months, the ideas have certainly not died.  Back then, Nathaniel Borenstein posted a vision about a flexible reputation system might look like, and I've managed to convert his idea into a suite of drafts that lay out a general framework, some IANA work, and then a couple of example applications that use the framework.  I've also included a mechanism for query and response using DNS and HTTP, and left a blank one open as well for a UDP method in case there's resistance to doing a DNS-based application.

I have a potential platform for doing both server-side and client-side sample implementations of such work, though it'll be a bit longer before they're visible, and I'd like to use these drafts as a basis for doing so which is why it's important to get the community discussing this stuff once again.

I've attached the last version of the draft charter for a working group to work on a general reputation framework using these drafts as a basis, and requested a BoF in Quebec City based on the previous momentum and these drafts.  I'm hoping the enthusiasm for the idea isn't as dead as the list has been.

Please have a look at the drafts and this charter and provide commentary.  I'd love to see some momentum here in time for Quebec City and possibly other related meetings before then.

Thanks,
-MSK
