The IESG contact persons are Barry Leiba, Ben Campbell and Alissa Cooper. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-xmpp-6122bis/ Technical Summary This document defines the address format for the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), including support for code points outside the ASCII range. This document obsoletes RFC 6122 to move from using stringprep to using precis profiles. Working Group Summary This document received review from a small but active number of individuals from the Working Group and the XMPP Community. There is consensus to publish this document. The XMPP Community did raise the concern that some addresses which are valid using RFC 6122 are no longer valid using this document. However, the consensus of the XMPP Community and the Working Group is that: this document adequately describes the concerns and potential ways to resolve such issues; and that such JIDs are exceedingly rare, if they have ever been encountered. Document Quality XMPP has a number of interoperable implementations, and a vibrant development community. Several implementers have reviewed various versions of this document. Personnel The Document Shepherd is Matthew Miller The responsible AD is Ben Campbell.
