  • Next message: McDonald, Ira: "IPP> FW: IESG review comments on IPP Notifications specs - May 2003"

    Hi folks, Wednesday (13 July 2005)

    Here are my proposed edits for IPP Mailto last call comments.

    In a separate note, I'll forward the 2003 IESG last call comments on IPP
    Notifications in general (applies to all the specs). I'm still looking
    for Ned Freed's individual comments on IPP Mailto (Ned wrote the MIME
    RFCs and was our IPP IETF Application Area Director at the time).

    Cheers,
    - Ira

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    [global edits to all sections]

    * Replace 'domain.com' with 'example.com'.

    * Replace 'RFC 1521' or '[RFC1521]' inline with '[RFC2045]' (obsoletes).

    * Replace 'RFC 2822' inline with '[RFC2822].

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    [edits to section 'Contact Info' in boilerplate]

    * Delete errroneous reference to 'additional media names'???

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    [edits to section 4 'General Information']

    [table 1 - question 9]
    * Append to end of Delivery Method Realization text

        (see section 10 'Security Considerations')

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    [edits to section 5.2.1 'notify-recipient-uri (uri)']

    [para 1]
    * Append this new last sentence:

        The syntax and security considerations for the 'mailto' URL scheme
        are normatively defined in [RFC2368] (which is currently under
        revision in [RFC2368bis]).

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    [edits to section 10 'Security Considerations']

    [para 2]
    * Replace references to [ipp-not-req] or [ipp-req] with [RFC3997].

    [para 5 and 6]
    * Append two new paragraphs (per IESG members and Ned Freed comments):

        A Printer that supports this Delivery Method SHOULD implement
        configurable security policies to address issues raised in section 7
        of [RFC2821], section 5 of [RFC2822], and section 7 of [RFC2368],
        for example:
        (a) Constraining the value of "notify-recipient-uri" to use the same
            domain as the Subscribing Client (value of "notify-user-data");
        (b) Restricting the value of "notify-recipient-uri" to disallow
            delivery to distribution lists (i.e., mail reflectors).

        A Printer that supports this Delivery Method SHOULD default to a
        conservative security policy (e.g., same domain restriction).

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
