Subject: [avtext] SRTP store and forward: Confirmation of IETF#80 decisions

(As WG chair)

During the split of the WGs from the old AVT working group a number of new milestones were created. For AVTEXT these included:

Dec 2011  Submit SRTP Store-and-Forward Use Cases and Requirements for Informational  
Dec 2011  Submit Use of the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) in Store-and-Forward Applications for Proposed Standard  

These were adopted more because drafts existed, rather that because there had been any real polling in the (AVT) working group for interest.

Discussion at IETF#80 identified that the original drafts do not really have a level of support in the way they are currently drafted. There needs to be more work on identifying use cases, and ensuring that the solutions address those use cases in a valid manner.

As such there is no support for the current milestones.

The chairs therefore propose to delete the current milestones. If you have objections to this, then please respond by the end of this week (Friday).

This does not prevent the authors working on the current drafts to identify something round which we can build working group consensus. We can easily create new milestones round this when that occurs.

Regards

Keith
