Council Meeting 2009-10-19

Roll call.
David Cridland, Kevin Smith, and Matthew Wild present. Remko Tronçon sends his apologies. Quorum achieved.

Agenda Bashing.
None.

What are this council's priorities for http://xmpp.org/xsf/roadmap.shtml ?
It is decided that items 1 and 2 on the roadmap are now responsibilities of the IETF Working Group, but it is still the Council's responsibility to advise. Kevin Smith suggest combining this to just be item #1. The Council agrees to include "MUC Cleanup" as item #2. The roadmap now stands as:

1. Advise the IETF WG on RFC bis revisions and e2e. 2. Clean up MUC (XEP-0045). 3. Improve XMPP file transfer by transitioning to Jingle (see XEP-0234) with SOCKS5 bytestreams (XEP-0260) and in-band bytestreams (XEP-0261). 4. Improve the resistance of XMPP to spam, phishing, abuse, and denial of service attacks, with a current focus on XEP-0268: Incident Reporting.

ProtoXEP Linked Process Protocol - http://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/lop.html Accept as a XEP?
A consensus is reached to wait for the next revision of the spec, which is apparently in the works, before voting.

The following XEPs are soon to expire:

 * XEP-0252: BOSH Script Syntax
 * XEP-0226: Message Stanza Profiles
 * XEP-0253: PubSub Chaining
 * XEP-0254: PubSub Queueing

XEP-0253 and 0254 are both in active interest on the jdev list. Kevin Smith suggests the Council votes next week on issuing a Last Call for XEP-0226.

Date/Time of next meeting.
Monday the 26th of October 2009 at 19:00UTC.

Issue a Last Call on http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0227.html?
There is some concern about requiring separate files and the lack of last activity. All three councilmen vote in favor of issuing a last call.

Any other business.
None.

Kevin Smith bangs the gavel.
