Outcomes of the SF Interim Meeting

[Mark Nottingham <[e-mail]>]

For those who couldn't make it to the SF Interim, we had a very productive meeting. 

There were many decisions made regarding the issues; for complete information, please take a look at the minutes:
  https://github.com/http2/wg_materials/blob/master/interim-13-06/minutes.md
  
... and the notes on individual issues in the issues list:
   https://github.com/http2/http2-spec/issues?milestone=&page=1&state=open

Two things are worth special notice:

1) We decided to use the joint proposal for header compression as a starting point going forward:
  http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ruellan-http-header-compression-00.txt

This will be published as a separate WG draft shortly.

2) We created a Layering Task Force to re-arrange the specification and make its structure more apparent.

The Layering TF should conclude shortly, recommending a rewritten spec to the WG. Once they do, we need to confirm that, incorporate any remaining issues, and publish a new draft.

That draft will be the one that we are targeting for our "First Implementation Draft", and that we'll (with luck and hard work) have implementations of going into Hamburg.

See the list of issues assigned for that milestone here:
  https://github.com/http2/http2-spec/issues?milestone=1&page=1&state=open

If you have questions or concerns about any of these decisions, please do bring them up on the list ASAP.

Regards,
