Description of Working Group:

The objective of this working group is to advance the state of NFS
technology by producing specifications to extend the original NFS
Version 4 work (RFC 3010) to provide additional capabilities, as
described below.

o NFS version 4

  Advance the protocol along the standards track, coordinating the
  development of test suites to provide a high level of implementation
  quality. The ONC RPC standards that NFSv4 references must also be
  advanced. This includes work to make NFSv4 and the underlying ONC RPC
  protocol compatible with IPv6.  Specifically, we will advance RFC 
  3010, RFC 1831, RFC 1833 and RFC 2203 to Draft Standard. The working 
  group will help advance related security RFCs, specifically through
  the definition of a method to advance APIs.

o Replication and Migration

  The original working group defined a mechanism for NFS clients and
  servers to support replication and migration of data transparently
  to an application.  Left undefined in the initial work was the
  server back end migration and replication mechanism.  The working
  group will produce a draft submission of a replication/migration
  protocol that supports NFS Version 4 clients - needed to create and
  maintain replicated filesystems as well as migrating filesystems
  from one location to another -  and servers for consideration as
  Proposed Standard.

o Management

  The working group will produce a draft submission for consideration
  as Proposed Standard of a management MIBs to provide better 
  management and administration capabilities for NFS and ONC RPC.

o Minor Versions

  NFS Version 4 contains within it the capability for minor versioning.
  Some discussions within the working group suggest addressing
  additional requirements over the original charter.  The WG will work
  to identify additional requirements for NFSv4 and determine if they
  are appropriate and worthwhile for a minor version.  This work may
  lead to proposals for additional work items.  If it does a specific
  proposal to add these work items to the charter will be forwarded to
  the IESG and IAB.

=================================================
NEW CHARTER WORDING ADDITION:

o RDMA/RDDP enabling
 
The performance benefit of RDMA/RDDP transports in NFS-related
applications, by reducing the overhead of data and metadata
exchange, has been demonstrated sufficiently such that the
working group will pursue in parallel enabling NFS and RPC over
the transport defined by the RDDP working group. The WG will
restrict its initial activities to defining the problem
statement and specifying the requirements for possible
extensions to RPC and NFS (in the context of a minor
revision).

Description of Working Group:

This effort has the goal of designing a IPSEC-specific resource
record for the domain name system (DNS) to replace the functionality
of the IPSEC sub-type of the KEY resource record.

The original DNSSEC specification explicitly specified flags on
the KEY resource records for use by IPSEC. Experience has shown that
this has operational problems. The DNSEXT working group is restricting
the use of the KEY record to DNS uses only. Thus, IPSEC keying via
DNS needs a new resource record.

The scope of work is to identify what information is needed in an
IPSEC-specific keying resource record, and to design such a record in 
co-operation with the dnsext working group. The contents of the resource
record are not limited to only the information that is in the DNS
KEY record but may also contain other useful IPSEC information,
such as that which is required for Opportunistic Encryption. Other
possible uses are out of scope for this working group, since any
reuse will require a careful analysis of the trust model and possible
security interactions with IPsec. It is anticipated that such analysis 
will be documented in some future standards-track RFCs.

The WG will define the semantics of the record only in terms of
how the data in the record can be used for initializing an IPSEC
session. Questions of when it is appropriate to do so are regarded
as policy issues that are out of scope for this WG.

This effort is specific to providing IPSEC information in DNS.
All other distribution channels are out of scope.


Goals and Milestones:

MAR 03 Solicit various proposals on what information is needed in 
       IPSEC specific KEYing record 

APR 03 Publish first Internet-Draft of consensus DNS Resource 
       Record 

MAY 03 Complete WG Last Call on consensus DNS RR proposal document 
       and pass document to IESG for consideration as a Proposed 
       Standard

Description of Working Group:

Lemonade is tasked to provide a set of enhancements and profiles of
Internet email submission, transport, and retrieval protocols to
facilitate operation in environments which use Internet-based
technologies but which have link characteristics, device
characteristics, or service environments that are significantly
different from those common on the Internet. A primary goal of this work
is to ensure that those profiles and enhancements continue to 
interoperate with the existing Internet email protocols in use on the
Internet, so that these environments and more traditional Internet
users have access to a seamless service.

Lemonade's work is at the crossroads of a body of work related to
Internet  messaging, in particular work done by the VPIM, FAX, IMAPEXT
and other IETF working groups. Given the potentially broad scope of
activities this group could engage in, the group will focus
specifically on the following work items:

 0. An informational RFC will be produced on LEMONADE requirements.

 1. Enhance the existing IMAP4 message retrieval protocol to satisfy
    the requirements for streaming playback of multimedia content. 
                   
 2. Enhance the exsiting IMAP4 message retrieval protocol to facilitate
    its use with devices that have limited capabilities such as mobile
    endpoints. The existing standards-track CONNEG framework will be 
    used if content negotiation capabilities are needed.

 3. Create a message notification protocol for the specific purpose of
    servers reporting message status information to other servers.

 4. Create a specification describing the use of Internet message
    services in environments where message delivery may take place using
    either Internet protocols or through an MMS server using
    WAP to communicate with the receiving user agent.

Any protocols defined by this working group will include appopriate
security mechanisms, including authentication, privacy, and access
control. Mandatory-to-implement security mechanisms will be specified
as needed in order to guarantee secure protocol interoperability.

The transport area will be consulted to deal with any transport-related
issues that arise, especially in regards to items 1-4 above.
                           
The working group is aware of several related activities in other groups:

- 3GPP TSG T WG2 SWG3 Messaging (http://www.3gpp.org/TB/T/T2/T2.htm)

- W3C Mulitmodal interaction Activity (http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/)

- Open Mobile Alliance (http://www.openmobilealliance.org/)

- 3GPP2 TSG-P (http://3gpp2.org/Public_html/P/index.cfm)

- 3GPP2 TSG-N (http://3gpp2.org/Public_html/N/index.cfm)

The goal is to coordinate efforts with at least these groups as required.

While there is obvious synergy, given the end-of-life of the VPIM and
FAX work groups and the similar membership, the working group does not
expect to coordinate with these other groups.

Description of Working Group:

Discussions during 2002 have revealed a significant number of thoughts
about problems that exist with the way the IETF operates. In advance of
trying to change the IETF procedures and rules to deal with these
problems, the IETF should have a clear, agreed description of what
problems we are trying to solve.

This group is charged with producing the document describing these
problems. The analysis of the problem should seek out the root causes 
of the problems as well as the perceived derivative problems.

The intent is that the group will discuss issues on its mailing list,
and that there will be an editing team to produce a clear concise
problem statement on which the group has come to consensus and present
to the IETF as a basis for an IETF consensus.

As a second work item, the group will also produce a proposal for a
process to develop solutions to the problems identified by this working
group.

It is not a part of this group's charter to propose solutions to the
problems.

The work items will be reviewed in IESG plenary at the IETF.
