 Hi Dan,
Looks great.
I have reviewed the entire draft and here are my review comments - some comments are not specific to the new work:
   
   - 1.1 Awkward wording:  "This abstraction simplifies data exchange, apply AI-driven analysis, as well as model training and    testing."  Suggested rewording: "This abstraction simplifies data exchange, enables AI-driven analysis, and supports model training and testing."
   - 4.1.1    The draft version 03 being different from the vcon version string 0.4.0 threw me off for a bit, before I realized they weren't really coupled.  Could add clarifying text.  Not very important.
   - 4.3 - text is already transcribable: Media-based Dialog Objects (type text and recording) SHOULD contain only media that is transcribable.  My first read of this confused me - why would you need to transcribe text?  I think it was referring to extracting text from an image, but wasn't that obvious.  Could add clarifying text earlier in the paragraph.
   - 4.3.1 - Dialog type - I think this section would benefit from a distinct subsection for each defined type
   - 4.3.4 - parties - typo - "Single channel recordings should have a parties value of the form:  "UnisignedInt" or "UnsignedInt[]" where the integer value or array of integer values are the indices to the Party Object(s) in the parties array that contributed to the mix for the single channel recording."
   - 4.3.5 originator - who is the originator in the case of a meeting recording?  The creator of the meeting?
   - 4.3.6 - recordings array pointer - consider removing this, since recordings point back to their set.  If left in, we have integrity issues that need to be resolved, ie: a recording is listed in the recording_set recordings array but has a pointer back to a different recording_set.
   - 4.3.16 - "string" should be "String" like elsewhere
   - Once accepted, might be good to add recording-set example to the appendix
Best Regards,Scott Godin

 Was: New Version Notification for draft-ietf-vcon-vcon-core-03.txt
Folks:I have addressed ALL of the open issues that I am aware of.  In Vienna, I will present the fixes made to the 03 I-D and I will discuss a few open nits with these changes.  I think that those will result in just a few lines of text changes. My goal is to get this to Working Group last call with those last small edits.
I need YOU to review this (03) version of the I-D so that it only takes one more iteration of edits to get this to Working Group Last Call!
Cheers,Dan

Date:    2026-07-01
Group:    vcon
Pages:    130
URL:      https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-vcon-vcon-core-03.txt
Status:  https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-vcon-vcon-core/

Abstract:

  vCon is a standardized framework for the exchange of conversational
  data.  Conversations, which may involve one or more participants,
  occur across a wide variety of modes and application platforms.  This
  document defines a JSON format for representing conversational data,
  encompassing metadata, conversation media, related documents, and
  analysis.  The goal of this standard is to provide an abstracted,
  platform-independent data format for conversations, regardless of the
  mode or application platform.  By doing so, it facilitates the
  integration and seamless exchange of conversational data across
  application platforms, enterprises, and trust boundaries.
