The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (xmpp) in the Applications Area has concluded. The IESG contacts are Ted Hardie and Scott Hollenbeck. The mailing list will remain active. +++ The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (xmpp) working group was chartered to develop an open, XML-based protocol based on Jabber Instant Messaging and Presence technology for near real-time extensible messaging and presence. The working group produced four Proposed Standard RFCs. RFC 3920 describes the XMPP protocol core. RFC 3921 describes extensions to and applications of the XMPP core for instant messaging and presence. RFC 3922 describes a mapping between XMPP and the Common Presence and Instant Messaging (CPIM) specifications. RFC 3923 describes methods of end-to-end signing and object encryption for XMPP. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
