Hi all,
Well, April 15 has come and gone a while ago. I wanted to see if we got
views from more people on my strawman proposal for a mandatory delivery
method, but I guess that is not going to happen.
There are two slight modifications that have been discussed on the DL.
1) It seems unreasonable to demand a MUST for TLS in ipp-get considering
that the main IPP specification in RFC2910-2911 has it as a strong SHOULD.
We will try to get the IESG to accept the same level for the basic
notification extensions and the ipp-get notification delivery method.
2) We need to make the same security requirement statements for both the
client and the server (printer) side, otherwise we cannot guarantee
interoperability.
With those modifications I declare that we have rough WG concensus on this
topic and I have already instructed Tom Hastings to go ahead and modify the
following two drafts:
draft-ietf-ipp-not-spec-08
draft-ietf-ipp-notify-get-06
When the new drafts are ready, I will send them out for another WG Last
Call, to make sure that we are in sync about the final changes.
As for the other two notification methods, there has also been some
discussions on the DL, which are outside the scope of this particular
concensus. I will address those discussions in a separate message.
