> Charter:
> 
> Javascript Object Notation (JSON) is a lightweight, text-based,
> language-independent data interchange format. It was derived from the
> ECMAScript Programming Language Standard, and is published in both
> ECMA-404 and RFC 7159. First published over 10 years ago, JSON has come
> into nearly ubiquitous use, often the first choice for data interchange
> over other forms -- especially for applications that work over the World
> Wide Web.  Given this ubiquity it makes sense to move JSON to Internet
> Standard.
> 
> JSON is defined in two separate documents from two different bodies.
> ECMA-404, published by Ecma International, focuses on the abstract
> syntax.
> RFC 7159, published by the IETF, focuses on the interoperability concerns
> when exchanging JSON over a network. The two documents agree on the
> structure of what JSON is.
> 
> The JSON working group will have as its only task the minor
> revision of RFC 7159 to bring it to Internet Standard, and fully
> acknowledge the syntax definition in ECMA-404. The work is essentially
> a reclassification in place, with absolute minimal changes, though those
> changes will require publication of a new RFC.  The working group will
> review errata and update the document as needed to incorporate those.
> 
> The resulting RFC will be aligned with a corresponding publication by
> ECMA.
> The Working Group will work with the liaison managers to coordinate with
> Ecma International TC39 on the editing of both documents. The responsible
> AD will work with the liaison managers to coordinate the approval process
> with Ecma International so that the versions of the document that are
> approved by each body are properly aligned with regard to syntax and
> shared semantics.
> 
> 
> Milestones:
>  Oct 2015 - Request publication of JSON standard
