The Open Pluggable Edge Services WG (opes) in the Applications Area has concluded. The IESG contact persons are Lisa Dusseault and Ted Hardie. Originally chartered to work on a generic framework for call-out protocols and an HTTP profile, the group completed work on RFCs 3752, 3835, 3836, 3837, 3838, 3897, 3914, 4037, and 4236. It then re-chartered to work on SMTP, producing RFC 4496, SMTP Use Cases, and the document listed above. The working group decided not to continue work on an OCP core for SMTP, but document the state of discussion and close. The working group mailing list will remain open. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
