The IESG contact person is Chris Newman. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-siemborski-imap-sasl-initial-response-06.txt Technical Summary This document defines an extension to IMAP which allows clients and servers to avoid a round trip at connection establishment time by allowing an initial client response argument to the IMAP AUTHENTICATE command. Working Group Summary This document is the product of an individual submitter. There was some question whether a new capability to eliminate a single round trip was worth the effort. The Lemonade WG's concern with the cost of round trips strongly supports moving this forward. Protocol Quality There are three client implementations and four server implementations by Lemonade WG participants. This document was reviewed by the Lemonade WG mailing list. The responsible Area Director is Chris Newman. Note to RFC Editor Section 5: OLD: The IANA is requested to add SASL-IR to the list of IMAP extensions.
