The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IMAP CONVERT extension ' <draft-ietf-lemonade-convert-20.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Enhancements to Internet email to Support Diverse Service Environments Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Chris Newman and Lisa Dusseault. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-lemonade-convert-20.txt Technical Summary CONVERT defines extensions to IMAP allowing clients to request adaptation and/or transcoding of attachments. Clients can specify the conversion details or allow servers to decide based on knowledge of client capabilities, on user or administrator preferences or its settings. Working Group Summary The document went through two WGLC, the first one resulted in a major document rewrite. After the second WGLC it became clear that there was no consensus on proposed conversion discovery mechanisms. The editors formally polled the WG in order to figure out if any particular approach was preferred. Results of the poll indicated rough consensus in favor of conversion discovery mechanism using the CONVERSIONS command and AVAILABLECONVERSIONS CONVERT data item. Document Quality There is at least 1 existing server implementation and at least 3 other server implementations are planned. At least 2 client implementers are interested in implementing the specification. At least 6 people have reviewed the document. Posted comments were addressed in the latest revision. Personnel Eric Burger is the Document Shepherd. Chris Newman is the Responsible Area Director. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
