Distributed Trace Context Community Group Proposed

The Distributed Trace Context Community Group has been proposed:

--------------------------------------------------

The mission of this group is to define the standard for distributed
trace context propagation. Distributed trace context is used to enable
monitoring and diagnostics scenarios in micro-services environment. It
consists of request identifiers and key properties that needs to be
propagated from one micro-service to another. These identifiers and
properties are used to analyze an end-to-end distributed traces.

The group primary objective is to publish a specification for the
protocols to use for distributed trace context propagation. Protocol
includes wire format and recommended scenarios to use these protocols in
applications, web servers, libraries, and platforms. The group also
targets to produce reference implementation for some languages. 

Making trace context propagation protocols vendor neutral enables
monitoring and diagnostics scenarios that are hard to achieve otherwise.
Authors of libraries, web servers, and application performance
management (APM) vendors who are interested to improve micro-services
monitoring and diagnostics story are encouraged to participate in this
group.

Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and
people can join to begin work. Once launched, the group will no longer
be listed as "proposed"; it will appear in the list of current groups:
  http://www.w3.org/community/groups/

In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account. To request one:
