[mile] Documents for consideration as MILE WG items

[Brian Trammell <[e-mail]>]

Greetings, all, and welcome to the MILE working group!

As a contributor, I'd like to put forward three documents for consideration as working group items under the initial charter; these are all relatively lightweight, and I believe should be easy to come to agreement on.


1. For * An informational template for extensions to IODEF:

"Guidelines for Extensions to IODEF for Managed Incident Lightweight Exchange"
       http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-trammell-mile-template 

This is an informational document primarily intended to speed the work of the MILE WG itself. It contains an Internet-Draft template for IODEF extensions.


2. For * A Standards Track document for IODEF Extensions in IANA XML Registry:

"Expert Review for IODEF Extensions in IANA XML Registry"
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-trammell-mile-iodef-xmlreg

This is a housekeeping and process document, which specifies a change to IODEF-related XML schema registrations in order to ensure an expert review of those schemas. It's really short; indeed, I'll quote the important part of the document here:

   Changes to the XML Schema registry for schema names beginning with
   "urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:iodef" are subject to an additional IODEF
   Expert Review [RFC5226].

   The IODEF expert(s) for these reviews will be designated by the IETF
   Security Area Directors.


3. For * A Standards Track document specifying the transport for RID:

"Transport of Real-time Inter-network Defense (RID) Messages"
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-trammell-mile-rfc6046-bis

This document is a straight update of RFC6046, making minor editorial changes and updating its status to Standards Track; there are no substantive technical changes from the HTTP-based protocol specified in RFC6046.


As a contributor, I'd appreciate comments to the list on these documents by 2 November, stating whether you support the documents for adoption as WG items, and whether you would be willing to review them. (Okay, if you've read this message this far, you've essentially already reviewed mile-iodef-xmlreg, but the other two could use a critical eye.)

After 2 November, Kathleen will hold a consensus call on these documents.

Many thanks, and best regards,

Brian
