Below is some information about the document's state. Harald & Alexey 1). Have the chairs personally reviewed this version of the ID and do they believe this ID is sufficiently baked to forward to the IESG for publication? Yes and yes. 2). Has the document had adequate review from both key WG members and key non-WG members? Yes and No. External review has not been solicited. Do you have any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that have been performed? No. 3). Do you have concerns that the document needs more review from a particular (broader) perspective (e.g., security, operational complexity, someone familiar with AAA, etc.)? No concerns. This is a rather isolated field. 4). Do you have any specific concerns/issues with this document that you believe the ADs and/or IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps you are uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or whether there really is a need for it, etc., but at the same time these issues have been discussed in the WG and the WG has indicated it wishes to advance the document anyway. No concerns regarding the document, however IESG should be aware that the document doesn't just standardize existing Usenet article format, but also adds several new header fields. This issue was discussed in the WG and rough consensus was to add new features. The group feels that it would be most appropriate to have this document approved by the IESG now, but that publication should be delayed until the companion document (USEPRO) comes out. This might take a while, given the slow progress the group has made so far. In the event of the group closing, the document can be published without USEPRO - there are no normative references. 5). How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with it? There is rough consensus among the 10 active participants to send the document to IESG. Two WG participants have said that they think the WG should shut down and not send any document, citing the length of time it has taken to get here and concerns with the document quality. 6). Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If so, please summarize what are they upset about. Nobody has threated to appeal. 7). Have the chairs verified that the document adheres to _all_ of the ID nits? (see http://www.ietf.org/ID-nits.html). Yes (Note that the ID nits tool reports several Experimental warnings, but they all wrong) 8). Does the document a) split references into normative/informative, Yes and b) are there normative references to IDs, where the IDs are not also ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? (Note: the RFC editor will not publish an RFC with normative references to IDs, it will delay publication until all such IDs are also ready for publication as RFCs.) This document doesn't have any normative reference to an ID. There are three Informative references to IDs, two of them are working documents of the USEFOR WG and another one (draft-ietf-nntpext-base) was approved for publication in June. See above for discussion of the relation to draft-ietf-usefor-usepro. 9). For Standards Track and BCP documents, the IESG approval announcement includes a writeup section with the following sections: Summary This document specifies the syntax of Netnews articles in the context of the "Internet Message Format" (RFC 2822) and "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)" (RFC 2045). This document obsoletes the mesasge format parts of RFC 1036, providing an updated specification to reflect current practice and incorporating incremental changes specified in other documents. The document also adds several new header fields that replace various non-standard and non-interoperable header fields in use in Usenet today. This is the first in a set of documents that obsolete RFC 1036. This document focuses on the syntax and semantics of Netnews articles. Another document describes protocol issues of Netnews articles independent of transport protocols, e.g. control articles. And yet another document describes policy related issues, interoperability and usability related recommendations. Process and goals history of this draft. The USEFOR WG started its efforts to update RFC 1036 about 9 years ago. Several email related standards got published and updated in this timeframe. Several WG chairs have changed since then, and many WG participants left or joined the WG (mostly left). In May 2004, this document was a part of the 98-page draft-ietf-usefor-article-13.txt. Following the proposal of Pete Resnick, WG chair at the time, the document got split into 2 documents: draft-ietf-usefor-usefor-00.txt and draft-ietf-usefor-usepro-00.txt. Following feedback from the WG members, Alexey Melnikov asked Ken Murchison to edit draft-ietf-usefor-usefor-xx.txt instead of Charles Lindsey, taking a more concise draft (draft-kohn-news-article-03.txt) by Dan Kohn as the base. Ken Murchison became the primary editor, while Charles Lindsey and Dan Kohn got listed as co-editors of the draft-ietf-usefor-usefor-00.txt document. While the split and new primary editor helped to move things forward, this was not sufficient to get the document finished. In April 2005, Harald Alvestand joined as co-chair of the WG. He introduced issue tracker to the WG, which helped to prevent people from reraising old issues again and again. He also on one occasion suspended posting rights of one of the abusive WG members, which helped reduce the personal attacks in the group. draft-ietf-usefor-usefor-10.txt is the result of a WG Last Call in April 2006 (which raised several issues, none of them requiring major changes) and a call for consensus on the resolution of Last Call comments in September 2006. This draft is being submitted for Proposed Standard. The USEFOR WG has reviewed the draft, last-call (and post last-call) reviews included: - Frank Ellermann - Russ Allbery - Richard Clayton - Ralph Babel - Forrest J. Cavalier III - Seth Breidbart - Dan Schlitt Of the reviewers, two argued that the group should be disbanded and the draft ditched.

To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages.

Hah. That's a wish, not an engineering manager's estimate. This is not the IWTF.

And now it is 2006. The chair is capable of seeing there is a process problem here. If the chair is not able to identify what the problem is and the appropriate fixes, the chair should recommend the WG disband, or resign. Considering that this is not the first chair to have the same problem, I invoke Drucker: (paraphrasing....) Any organizational position in which two capable, well selected people, failed is unfillable. The organization must change so that the position is not part of it. If the chair can explain why his estimates from this year 2006 will be any different from last year 2005, then I think we should also consider.... 1. Who didn't participate in the poll within deadline, and estimate how many people will be around a year from now. John Stanley, Seth Briedbart, Bruce Lilly, Alexey Melnikov, Graham Drabble were recent participants, but did not have the time or inclination to respond within deadline. 2. Of the people who participate, estimate person-by-person how many of those actually have real-world experience running or writing production news server software. Remember this from 5/25/2005? Has the situation improved? > So far, about 20 people (out of 49 subcribers) have answered my poll. > Most people gave a "range" for their commitment out of my list, so I'm > giving "ranges" for how many people are in each category: > > 1 (glance): 6-3 (pessimist says 6, optimist says 3) > 2 (read): 10-8 > 3 (comment): 4-6 > 4 (review): 0-3 > > To me, this indicates that we have a serious risk of a shortage of > reviewers, but still have some interest.....

And since there is no way to have interoperating implementations without USEPRO, there is no way that USEFOR can get accepted as a standard. 4.

A WG that has pushed one document out the door has some basis for guessing what it'd take to finish another; with active management, my personal guess is about a year for USEPRO. If the management isn't active, it won't finish. A WG that has not pushed a document out the door has no basis for saying that it's going to finish another one. WRT the "number of remaining issues" gibe: While I have not been around for the previous Last Calls (and, as I indicated in my reply to some of Richard Clayton's comments, I do believe in the "last" word in the name of Last Call), I saw no really important technical issues raised at this Last Call. The group has given proof positive that it can find any number of wording changes that would result in a slightly better document. So I regard it as one of the Chair's important tasks to *stop* such changes at one point in the document's lifecycle. I think this point has now arrived for the USEFOR document.

I admit that was a rhetorical question, and I expected no answer. Charters and Rules of Order are not hoops. If you can't stay within them, the process is broken and the work product is invariably flawed. We are wayyy past charter on the simplest part, USEFOR.

Some pieces of information have privacy implications; this is discussed in [I-D.ietf-usefor-useage]. but we pick out just one of the four and put a SHOULD on it. Now I don't think it's a SHOULD because many other things within the article may make this irrelevant (and it may, for example, be policy within an organisation that articles written by employees may not have obfuscated origins, so requiring their server to obfuscate just one parameter is just daft). However, if you really think it's a SHOULD then it seems entirely inconsistent to apply it to just one header field line - -- richard Richard Clayton Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

But if I say posting-host=80.175.135.89 then all you can establish is that that IP belongs to newnet.co.uk, which does not help much. The wording was written in that form (it has been there a long time) just to emphasise that merely identifying the host making the NNTP connection in the posting-host parameter would not always be good enough.

It is because RFC 2822 defines it that way, and we need a good reason to depart from RFC 2822 (we had a good reason for Message-ID).

I understand your frustration, and in particular I apologise to you and to the group for not having found the time to look at the document until right on the deadline. Most of the changes should be completely uncontroversial, but the two which are not : the "posting-account" obfuscation and User-Agent structure I have raised before -- I, probably unwisely, didn't bang on about them. So if you rule them closed, so be it. Fixing them wouldn't raise the quality of the document -- merely make it more accurate in describing the current approach to what appears in header fields. - -- richard @ highwayman . com "Nothing seems the same Still you never see the change from day to day And no-one notices the customs slip away" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 iQA/AwUBRQk0gJoAxkTY1oPiEQJWNACg7qBpoK1j9ehkP3ZGhrao91MgljwAnjPL DKPMOZXQNtTN2RYxPC4re3Vc =5VeH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Received: from balder-227.proper.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by balder-227.proper.com (8.13.5/8.13.5) with ESMTP id k8E6wFUb018850; Wed, 13 Sep 2006 23:58:15 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from owner-ietf-usefor@mail.imc.org) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by balder-227.proper.com (8.13.5/8.13.5/Submit) id k8E6wFkE018849; Wed, 13 Sep 2006 23:58:15 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from owner-ietf-usefor@mail.imc.org) X-Authentication-Warning: balder-227.proper.com: majordom set sender to owner-ietf-usefor@mail.imc.org using -f Received: from eikenes.alvestrand.no (eikenes.alvestrand.no [158.38.152.233]) by balder-227.proper.com (8.13.5/8.13.5) with ESMTP id k8E6wDro018835 for <ietf-usefor@imc.org>; Wed, 13 Sep 2006 23:58:14 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from harald@alvestrand.no) Received: from localhost (eikenes.alvestrand.no [127.0.0.1]) by eikenes.alvestrand.no (Postfix) with ESMTP id A56FD2580CD; Thu, 14 Sep 2006 08:56:00 +0200 (CEST) Received: from eikenes.alvestrand.no ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (eikenes.alvestrand.no [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id 25392-07; Thu, 14 Sep 2006 08:55:55 +0200 (CEST) Received: from [127.0.0.1] (eikenes.alvestrand.no [127.0.0.1]) by eikenes.alvestrand.no (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9C6A52580CA; Thu, 14 Sep 2006 08:55:55 +0200 (CEST) Message-ID: <4508FD7F.6000505@alvestrand.no> Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2006 23:58:07 -0700 From: Harald Alvestrand <harald@alvestrand.no> User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 (X11/20060719) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Richard Clayton <richard@highwayman.com> Cc: ietf-usefor@imc.org Subject: Re: Last Reminder: WG LAST CALL RESOLUTION OF COMMENTS: draft-ietf-usefor-usefor-09 References: <44F68D50.9080108@alvestrand.no> <450146AB.2070901@alvestrand.no> <4508297F.8050502@alvestrand.no> <WHoG3xIGmDCFFA9Z@highwayman.com> In-Reply-To: <WHoG3xIGmDCFFA9Z@highwayman.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at alvestrand.no Sender: owner-ietf-usefor@mail.imc.org Precedence: bulk List-Archive: <http://www.imc.org/ietf-usefor/mail-archive/> List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:ietf-usefor-request@imc.org?body=unsubscribe> List-ID: <ietf-usefor.imc.org> Richard, Richard Clayton wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > .... nits removed.... >>>> A - The specification has resolved all the issued raised at Last >>>> Call.

Articles must conform to the ABNF specified in [RFC2822]. Articles must also conform to the restrictions specified here, both those that are expressed as text and those that are expressed as ABNF. just keeps negating itself as each sentence follows the next, so why not one paragraph saying: The text below uses ABNF to specify restrictions on the syntax specified in [RFC2822]; this grammar is intended to be more restrictive than the [RFC2822] grammar. Articles must conform to the ABNF specified in [RFC2822] and also to the restrictions specified here, both those that are expressed as text and those that are expressed as ABNF. #3.1.3 Implementations MUST NOT generate two Message-IDs where the only difference is the case of characters in the <id-right> part. isn't quite right, someone else might have made it: Implementations MUST NOT generate a Message-ID where the only difference from another Message-ID is the case of the characters in the <id-right> part. #3.1.4 A newsgroup component SHOULD NOT consist of digits only and SHOULD NOT contain uppercase letters. Such components MAY be used only to refer to existing groups that do not conform to this naming scheme, but MUST NOT be used otherwise. much nicer (and more consistent) as: A <component> SHOULD NOT consist solely of digits and SHOULD NOT contain uppercase letters. Such components MAY be used to refer to existing groups that do not conform to this syntax, but MUST NOT be used otherwise. #3.2.7 NOTE: Since clocks on various agents are not necessarily synchronized, the <date-time> in this header field may not be later than the Date header field, as be expected. Agents MUST NOT alter a pre-existing Date header field when adding an Injection- Date header field. the "may not" is unfortunate... so NOTE: Since clocks on various agents are not necessarily synchronized, hence the <date-time> in this header field will not inevitably be a later value than that in the Date header field. Agents MUST NOT alter a pre-existing Date header field when adding an Injection-Date header field. #3.2.9 NOTE: If the "posting-host" <parameter> identifies a dial-up point-of-presence, the "posting-account" or the "logging-data" <parameter> may provide additional information about the true origin of the article. I can see nothing special about dial-up, so: NOTE: The "posting-account" and "logging-data" information provide further ways to identify the article origin when "posting-host" is insufficient for that purpose. Also, given that there is a statement Some pieces of information have privacy implications; this is discussed in [I-D.ietf-usefor-useage]. The earlier sentence (which isn't about syntax issues): "In order to limit the exposure of personal data, it SHOULD be given in a form that cannot be interpreted by other sites." should be completely removed and hence the whole topic of SHOULDs should be left to USEAGE #3.2.10 Earlier in #3 it says "The following header fields defined in this document do not allow comments (CFWS):" and a list follows. but References: uniquely says: " Comments in CFWS between message identifiers can cause interoperability problems, so comments SHOULD NOT be generated, but MUST be accepted." Is this because people currently create them ? Why not just ban them here as well using the general ban in #3 ? What's the value of this special status for References ? This just complicates to no purpose :( #3.2.13 I still strongly believe that the structured format for User-Agent is whistling in the wind. This is branding, not protocols! Since it doesn't affect interoperability it should be removed. Also, in several places "comments" should become "<comment>s" for consistency, and to avoid any possible confusion with <comments> :) In fact, a general sweep through ensuring that syntactic elements are enclosed in angle brackets when appearing in commentary would be extremely desirable. >>> A - The specification has resolved all the issued raised at Last >>> Call.

However, I agree that USEFOR does not depend normatively on USEPRO, although USEPRO will certainly depend normatively on USEFOR. However, USEFOR on its own does not tell you how to construct a Netnews system (any more than RFC 2822 tells you how to construct an email system). OTOH, I understood you to say, at the time of your first last call some months back, that USEFOR, even if it passed IETF Last Call now, would not actually be published until USEPRO caught up with it. >The references to USEPRO are: >1.2: > This is the first in a set of documents that obsolete [RFC1036]. > This document focuses on the syntax and semantics of Netnews > articles.

Actually, that paragraph makes exactly the point I was trying to raise. It states that, in order to obsolete [RFC1036], a "set of documents" will be needed, and then lists USEPRO and USEAGE as the other two. I grant you that USEAGE is not really necessary for the purpose, and indeed had noted that slight anomaly some time ago, but did not think it important enough to quibble about. But certainly, USEFOR on its own, does not address all the matters that RFC1036 deals with. -- Charles H.

So if the RFC Editor believes what we write, he won't block it. Furthermore, I don't see that the references are of such a nature that they would be taken as normative. The references to USEPRO are: 1.2: This is the first in a set of documents that obsolete [RFC1036]. This document focuses on the syntax and semantics of Netnews articles. [I-D.ietf-usefor-usepro] is also a standards-track document and describes the protocol issues of Netnews articles, independent of transport protocols such as [I-D.ietf-nntpext-base]. A best-common-practice document, [I-D.ietf-usefor-useage], describes implementation recommendations to improve interoperability and usability. 3.1.4: <component>s beginning with underline ("_") are reserved for use by future versions of this standard and SHOULD NOT be generated by user agents (whether in header fields or in newgroup control messages as defined by [I-D.ietf-usefor-usepro]). However, such names MUST be accepted by news servers. <component>s beginning with "+" and "-" are reserved for private use and SHOULD NOT be generated by user agents (whether in header fields or in newgroup control messages [I-D.ietf-usefor-usepro]) without a private prior agreement to do so. However, such names MUST be accepted by news servers. .... NOTE: "example.*" is reserved for examples in this and other standards; "poster" has a special meaning in the Followup-To header field; "to.*" is reserved for certain point-to-point communications in conjunction with the "ihave" control message as defined in [I-D.ietf-usefor-usepro]; "control.*" and "junk" have special meanings in some news servers; "all" is used as a wildcard in some implementations; and "ctl" was formerly used to indicate a <control-command> within the Newsgroups header field. 3.1.5: diag-keyword = 1*ALPHA ; see [I-D.ietf-usefor-usepro] ... A <path-diagnostic> is an item inserted into the Path header field for purposes other than to indicate the name of a site. The use of these is described in [I-D.ietf-usefor-usepro]. 3.1.6: The Subject header field is the same as that specified in Section 3.6.5 of [RFC2822] with the added restrictions detailed above in Section 2.2. Further discussion of the content of the Subject header field appears in [I-D.ietf-usefor-usepro] and [I-D.ietf-usefor-useage]. 3.2: None of the header fields appearing in this section is required to appear in every article, but some of them may be required in certain types of article. Further discussion of these requirements appears in [I-D.ietf-usefor-usepro] and [I-D.ietf-usefor-useage]. 3.2.1: The Approved header field indicates the mailing addresses (and possibly the full names) of the persons or entities approving the article for posting. Its principal uses are in moderated articles and in group control messages; see [I-D.ietf-usefor-usepro]. 3.2.3: The verb indicates what action should be taken, and the argument(s) (if any) supply details. In some cases, the <body> (as defined in [RFC2822]) of the article may also contain details. The legal verbs and respective arguments are discussed in the companion document, [I-D.ietf-usefor-usepro]. 3.2.12: The Supersedes header field contains a message identifier specifying an article to be superseded upon the arrival of this one. An article containing a Supersedes header field is equivalent to a "cancel" [I-D.ietf-usefor-usepro] control message for the specified article, followed immediately by the new article without the Supersedes header field. 5: Further security considerations are discussed in [I-D.ietf-usefor-usepro]. We have talked before about the need to hold back USEFOR in case we discover the need to make changes in USEFOR while we are sorting through the details of USEPRO. But I don't see that it's obvious that it's a true normative dependency. If someone wishes to argue that it is, please state: - Which of the references above you see as "normative" - That you think the USEPRO reference needs to be moved from the "informative" to the "normative" section. The moving is a quick edit. But I'm not certain we need to do it.

USEFOR won't obsolete RFC 1036 until it is published as an RFC, which cannot be before USEPRO is done because of the normative references to USEPRO within it (even it it is all IESG-approved-and-ready before then).

Yes, in practice, only the parameter CTE 8bits might differ (?) In theory it's "will be identical", the "official" news format is RFC 1036 until USEFOR obsoletes it. Apparently Henry registered message/news 1993 before s-o-1036, maybe we could obsolete it informally, a mail from the shepherd to IANA as soon as USEFOR is approved. It's okay if you think that that's pedantic and overkill, but I really like to have all those funny IANA registries up to date, if it's the dict: URI scheme, or the missing mail format found by EAI, a lost HTML i18n DTD, or this old message/news entry.

To be useful, it has to be recognized and processed by user agents (for neat display, etc). Most user agents currently handle message/rfc822 in a sensible way.

And the interoperability issue is real, my stoneage UA uses message/news when I forward news. Other UAs consider this as evil unknown attachment, refusing to open it.

If nobody disagrees we could add the registry update template because it's "the right thing", like adding the reference to 3696 because it's mentioned in an ABNF comment. We have "obsoletes 1036" in the header, that could justify to also obsolete the MIME type registered with RFC 1036 as its specification. If you simply don't want it my premise "if nobody disagrees" would be wrong (and that point moot).

I hope that I still recall this without digging. Section 2.3 and RFC 2049 talk about user agents, user agents must be able to handle message/rfc822.
