Hi!

We are about half through the feedback period and helpful discussion has already occurred.  Thank you for the input.  

To help focus further discussion and to help onboard those that have not weighed in yet, a summary of the thread to date can be found at https://github.com/ietf/ftp-retirement-consult-2020/blob/main/status.md

Regards,
Roman

> Hi!
> 
> The Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) is seeking community input on
> retiring the IETF FTP service (ftp://ftp.ietf.org, ftp://ops.ietf.org, ftp://ietf.org).
> A review of this service has found that FTP appears to serve a very small
> community and HTTP has become the access mechanism of choice.  Given this
> shift in community usage, reducing the operational complexity of the overall
> IETF infrastructure seems to outweigh the very limited community served with
> FTP.
> 
> In reviewing the additional impacts of such a service retirement, the
> dependencies on FTP have been assessed.  Additionally, it has been confirmed
> that all information currently reachable through FTP will continue to be
> available through other services (HTTP, RSYNC, IMAP).
> 
> In consultation with the Tools team (Robert, Glen, Henrik, Russ, and Alexey),
> Communications team (Greg), affected SDO liaisons, IAB Chair, and LLC ED, a
> proposed retirement plan was developed and is available at:
> 
> https://www.ietf.org/media/documents/Retiring_IETF_FTP_Service.pdf
> 
> The IESG appreciates any input from the community on this proposal and will
> consider all input received by December 4, 2020 (to account for the upcoming
> IETF 109 and holidays).
