Draft IETF TRADE Minutes from Minneapolis

[Eastlake III Donald-LDE008 <[e-mail]>]

TRADE WG Minutes, IETF 58 Minneapolis
Donald E. Eastlake 3rd

Attendance at the meeting was very poor. In the end, there were six names on the blue sheets.

All of the slides were not gone through. Instead there was primarily a discussion of the following issues:

-- Should the draft-ietf-trade-srv-higher-services-01.txt and draft-ietf-trade-iotp-http2-00.txt be changed to use S-NAPTR as described in draft-daigle-napstr-03.txt instead of SRV?

This avoids the problem of an explosion in the number of names to look up for a service available over multiple transports. On the other hand, it could conceivably be a problem if enough different services used that technique at a single FQDN.

The consensus of the room was to change to using S-NAPTR.

-- In light of the very low activity on the TRADE WG Mailing List and very low attendance at the WG meeting at this and the previous IETF Meeting, should the working group be dissolved sooner rather than later and these last two drafts be processed as personal submissions rather than WG documents?

This is primarily for the Ned Freed, the area director for TRADE, to decide in consultation with the chair.

Attendees: Donald Eastlake (TRADE WG chair), Ted Hardie (Applications co-AD), Leslie Daigle (IAB member), Andrew Newton, Mike Ko, Scott Bradner (IAB member).
