Previously, we've mentioned an intention to have a First Implementation Draft -- that is, an Internet-Draft that we feel is suitable for implementers to write code to, for the purposes of interoperability testing and gathering feedback -- shortly after the Paris interim.

Due to the size and complexity of HTTP-over-QUIC, implementing all four drafts for this purpose on a reasonable timeline isn't workable.

Instead, the editors have identified a subset of functionality that they believe will serve as a suitable starting point. See:
  https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/wiki/First-Implementation-Draft

They've also identified the set of issues that we believe will be necessary to have proposals for before Paris; see:
  https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/milestone/1

If all goes well, the plan is to have a set of drafts out (very) soon that do so; then, we can discuss them and the First Implementation Draft Candidate in the lead-up to and during the Paris interim.

After Paris, we'll make any necessary adjustments to the documents and publish another set, which will be the First Implementation Draft.

Please comment / raise concerns / make suggestions on-list. 

Regards,
