The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)' <draft-bormann-cbor-04.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-08-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a data format whose design goals include the possibility of extremely small code size, fairly small message size, and extensibility without the need for version negotiation. These design goals make it different from earlier binary serializations such as ASN.1 and MessagePack. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-bormann-cbor/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-bormann-cbor/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
