Working Group Summary The document went through two WGLC, the first one resulted in a major document rewrite. After the second WGLC it became clear that there was no consensus on proposed conversion discovery mechanisms. The editors formally polled the WG in order to figure out if any particular approach was preferred. Results of the poll indicated rough consensus in favor of conversion discovery mechanism using the CONVERSIONS command and AVAILABLECONVERSIONS CONVERT data item. Document Quality There is at least 1 existing server implementation and at least 3 other server implementations are planned. At least 2 client implementers are interested in implementing the specification. At least 6 people have reviewed the document. Posted comments were addressed in the latest revision. Personnel Eric Burger is the Document Shepherd.
