[regext] EXTENDED: Re: CALL FOR ADOPTION: draft-loffredo-regext-rdap-jcard-deprecation-03

[James Galvin <[e-mail]>]

The Chairs would like to extend this CALL FOR ADOPTION because we’d 
like to separate out an issue that has come up in the discussion of this 
adoption.  We are hoping that this clarity will address the concern that 
has been raised.

This document actually covers two distinct issues.

1. A specification for jsContact.
2. A proposal for migrating to jsContact from jCard.

There are words suggesting that jCard would be deprecated as part of 
this and the question has been raised on the list as to whether or not 
this is actually a reality.

The Chairs would like to propose that we separate out the question of 
whether or not jCard will be deprecated.  That is better considered as a 
separate question.

Since there is precedent in the IETF for documenting alternate ways of 
meeting a requirement, here is what we propose.

This CALL FOR ADOPTION is to commit to a specification of jsContact.  
The specification would be permitted to document how one could migrate 
from jCard to jsContact.  The starting point for this work is 
draft-loffredo-regext-rdap-jcard-deprecation-03.

If this document is adopted, then we will need to consider the 
relationship between the use of jsContact and jCard.  The IESG will ask 
us this question as part of considering the publication of any document 
we develop.  This will effect the potential status of the document, 
e.g., Proposed Standard vs Experimental.  More specifically, we will 
need to consider whether there is support to migrate to something new 
given the legacy deployment.  It is appropriate to have this discussion 
within the working group.

With all that in mind, here is the revised, extended CALL FOR ADOPTION:


This is a formal adoption request for “Using JSContact in Registration 
Data Access Protocol (RDAP) JSON Responses”:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-loffredo-regext-rdap-jcard-deprecation/

This document will serve as the starting point for documenting 
jsContact.  It may also document how to migrate from jCard to jsContact, 
depending on the consensus of the working group.

Please review this draft to see if you think it is suitable for adoption 
by REGEXT for the stated purpose, and comment to the list, clearly 
stating your view.

If adopted, the document will be renamed as follows: 
draft-ietf-regext-rdap-jscontact.

Please indicate if you are willing to contribute text, review text, or 
be a document shepherd.

Please also indicate any preference you have for a proposed milestone 
date.

This call for adoption ends Monday, 22 February 2021.

If there are no objections, and we receive enough consensus for 
adoption, the chairs will consider this document adopted.

Thanks,

Your REGEXT co-chairs Antoin and Jim
