Re: [xmpp] Consensus Call on Adoption of POSH

(As [the other] Chair)

Alexander, do you support (or object to)  adoption of POSH as a working group item? 

Keep in mind that adoption doesn't imply the draft is complete or even correct, just that it's the best way forward. I expect we would continue this discussion, among other technical discussions.

Thanks!

Ben.
