The IESG has approved the following document: - 'An Architecture for Reputation Reporting' (draft-ietf-repute-model-10.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Reputation Services Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Pete Resnick and Barry Leiba. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-repute-model/ Technical Summary Using work on SPF and DKIM for motivation, the draft builds upon recent work in email authentication. The document describes a basic architecture for reputation queries. It defines reputation as "the estimation in which an identifiable actor is held, especially by the community or the Internet public generally." The document sets the stage for detailed specifications by providing: o Vocabulary for the current work and work of this type; o The types and content of queries that can be supported; o The extensible range of response information that can be provided; o A query/response protocol; o Query/response transport conventions. Working Group Summary The document has gone through multiple drafts, over a period of time, that were discussed in the working group. Discussion was mild and supportive, with no significant controversy. The working group 'style' was mostly of a small, collaborative set of active participants, but has become quite dormant in recent months. Changes during AD Evaluation were passed by the few remaining active participants. The document includes some core material published previously, which means that it is already well-established. Equally, the document's terminology, model and discussion are reasonably straightforward and not controversial. Document Quality The document is well-organized, defines its scope and is usable in its current form. Personnel Document Shepherd: Dave Crocker Responsible AD: Pete Resnick
