The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Media Type for Reputation Interchange' (draft-ietf-repute-media-type-13.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-media-type/ Technical Summary Once there is a validated identifier associated with an object or activity, it is possible to develop and communicate its behavioral "reputation". The current draft is part of an effort to define a reputation query/report mechanism. This draft specifically defines the response syntax and format and the media-type for packaging it. 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. Document Quality The specified protocol is reasonable simple and flexible, tailored to the semantics of requesting reputation-related attributes about a "subject".
