Re: [ftpext] Submitting new drafts

[Anthony Bryan <[e-mail]>]

I think the problem is that there isn't a FTPEXT WG yet & it doesn't
seem definite that there will be one.

I've been posting a draft charter (included here) but...not sure what
the next step is.

I added draft-liu-ftp64-extension, which I just saw turn up.

somewhat on topic, does anyone know how to change the WG in xml2rfc?



FTP Extensions, 2nd edition (ftpext2) Charter

Chair(s):
     TBD

IETF Area:
     Applications Area

Applications Area Directors:
     Alexey Melnikov <[e-mail]>
     Peter Saint-Andre <[e-mail]>

Responsible Area Director:
     Alexey Melnikov <[e-mail]>

Mailing list:
     General Discussion: [e-mail]
     Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ftpext/current/maillist.html

Description of Working Group:

The Standard File Transfer Protocol specification in RFC 959
has been updated several times with command extensions of one
sort or another, including those based on the extension
mechanism of RFC 2389 (a complete list appears in RFC 5797 and
the corresponding IANA registry at
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ftp-commands-extensions/ftp-commands-extensions.xhtml
).

The following are active FTP related drafts:

    draft-bryan-ftp-hash
    draft-hethmon-mcmurray-ftp-hosts
    draft-liu-ftp64-extension
    draft-peterson-streamlined-ftp-command-extensions
    draft-preston-ftpext-deflate

The Working Group will:
* Review and finalize drafts listed above.
* Continue work on other drafts that are already in progress.
* Review and confirm or reject errata of current FTP RFCs.
* Investigate the differences between FTP in theory
  (current RFCs) and practice, and recommend future work to align them.

The Working Group's specification deliverables are:
* A document that specifies the HOST command (Proposed Standard).
* A document that specifies the HASH command (Proposed Standard).
* A document that specifies FTP extensions to support IPv4/IPv6
translation scenario.

The Working Group must not introduce a new version of FTP, e.g.
an incompatible FTP 2.0.

Goals and Milestones
Oct 2010    Submit 'File Transfer Protocol HOST Command for Virtual
Hosts' as working group item (draft-hethmon-mcmurray-ftp-hosts will be
used as a starting point)
Oct 2010    Submit 'File Transfer Protocol HASH Command for
Cryptographic Hashes' as working group item (draft-bryan-ftp-hash will
be used as a starting point)
TBD 2010    Working group Last Call of HOST document
TBD 2010    Submit 'File Transfer Protocol HOST Command for Virtual
Hosts' to the IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard
TBD 2011    Working group Last Call of HASH document
