Lars, Ruben, Herbert:

>    For some time now, Ruben Verborgh, Herbert Van de Sompel and I together
    with folks in W3C have been working on a proposal for http content
    negotiation using profiles. This is done by adding a new http header
    "Accept-Profile" and re-using the "Link"-header (RFC 8288). The proposal
    was uploaded as an I-D earlier today [1].

Thanks for bringing this forward.  We (the chairs) discussed this, and think that this should be brought forward to the DISPATCH working group (https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/dispatch/about/)   There is a meeting planned at the next virtual IETF on Monday 2021-03-08 13:00 CET (12:00 UTC). There seems to be plenty of time to get on the agenda; you can find the DISPATCH chairs on the about page.

Our reasons for doing this is that we're not sure about HTTPBIS vs. HTTP-API; clearly cross-collaboration will be required.  Also note that the IETF has a lot of history in this area and we're not quite sure why this would be different and how to ensure success.  Examples include RFC's 2295 2703, 2534, 2912, 2913, the now-closed CONNEG working group (https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/conneg/about/) and a counter-argument https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Why_not_conneg

Thanks.
Rich, for the chairs.
