[xmpp] Consensus Call on Adoption of POSH

[Ben Campbell <[e-mail]>]

(as chair)

Hi,

The XMPP working group has a chartered work item for enabling multi-domain hosting and server connection sharing.

Matt has been working on POSH for a while now, as an enabler for that work. POSH is not currently expected to get its own working group, and no other working group is chartered for that work. Several people have proposed that, while POSH may have general applicability, XMPP is the group that needs it, and therefore XMPP should adopt it. It is further proposed that, we would try to keep it reasonably general, but would focus on XMPP related requirements.

Should we adopt https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-miller-posh/ as a working group item in support of the aforementioned chartered work? Keep in mind that acceptance does not mean the work group thinks the draft is absolutely correct or complete. It merely means that we think that the draft is a good start towards the milestone.

Please send your opinions to the XMPP working group by Jan 20.

Thanks!

Ben.
