= Executive Summary =
= XMPP Extension Protocols =
The XMPP Council worked to complete several primary tasks in its eighth session (2008-2009). A full accounting of work on Draft and Final XEPs for this session is located at http://xmpp.org/council/tallies_08.shtml
== Jingle ==
In June 2009 the Council was finally able to advance the core Jingle specifications from Experimental to Draft:
* [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html XEP-0166: Jingle]
* [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html XEP-0167: Jingle RTP Sessions]
* [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0176.html XEP-0176: Jingle ICE-UDP Transport Method]
* [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0177.html XEP-0177: Jingle Raw UDP Transport Method]
This effort represents a major milestone in the use of XMPP for multimedia session negotiation as originally deployed in the Google Talk application.
== Draft to Final ==
The eighth Council made a concerted effort to advance more XEPs from Draft to Final in the XSF's standards process. The specifications so advanced were:
* [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0012.html XEP-0012: Last Activity]
* [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0085.html XEP-0085: Chat State Notifications]
* [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0174.html XEP-0174: Serverless Messaging] (originally developed by Apple for their Bonjour technology)
* [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0138.html XEP-0138: Stream Compression]
* [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0199.html XEP-0199: XMPP Ping]
* [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0202.html XEP-0202: Entity Time]
* [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0203.html XEP-0203: Delayed Delivery]
It is probably that additional XEPs will be advanced from Draft to Final during the ninth Council session (2009-2010).
= IETF Activities =
The XSF has spearheaded creation of a renewed [http://tools.ietf.org/wg/xmpp/ XMPP Working Group] at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The primary focus for the WG is to complete revisions to RFC 3920 and RFC 3921, which comprise the core definition of XMPP.
