On the agenda for IETF 44 there is a BOF entitled IPP2IFAX, at the suggeston of the AD's the proposed charter has been substantially revised to concentrate specifically on the needs and requirements of document transmission. The purpose of this is not to create any confusion with the requirements of Internet Fax or distributed printing [Internet Print Protocol] Please inform me ASAP of any revisions, comments or agenda items that need to be included. Meeting is ..same time ..same room. Sorry about the short time frame to get this out, but I was in transit all of last week. #################### HI-FI DOCS (a.k.a IPP2IFAX) 44 IETF Minneapolis MN Tuesday March 16, 1999 9:00-10:00 AM - Rochester Bash the Agenda 10 min Reason for Name Change 5 min Reason for Work Group 5 min Proposed Charter 10 min Drafts: 10 min draft-ietf-shockey-ipp2ifax-00.txt Open floor for discussion. ################################ Proposed Charter: Was IPP2IFAX New Name To Be Determined - High Integrity Document Distribution (HI-FI DOCS) Chair(s): Richard Shockey <rshockey@ix.netcom.com> [PROPOSED] Applications Area Director(s): Keith Moore <moore+iesg@cs.utk.edu> Patrik Fältström <paf@swip.net> Area Advisor Keith Moore <moore+iesg@cs.utk.edu> Mailing lists: General Discussion: ifx@pwg.org To Subscribe: majordomo@pwg.org In Body: subscribe ifx [your-email-address] The subject line should be blank Archive: <http://www.pwg.org/hypermail/ifx> Description of Working Group: The transmission and reception of non-alterable documents is an essential communications medium. Several protocols and services have been developed over the years to facilitate document transmission, including the GSTN Fax service [ITU - T.30]. Within the IETF several protocols have been developed that facilitate document transmission, including RFC2305 [Store and Forward Internet Fax] and the Internet Print Protocol [IPP]. Each of these services has one or more severe limitations or restrictions that may not be suitable for all document transmissions. Among those limitations that could be applied to one or more of the above services: 1. Limitations on Quality (resolution or color transmission) 2. Ability to repudiate request for receipt confirmation (MDN DSN) 3. Lack of clear and unambiguous identification of sender or recipient 4. Lack of ability to monitor progress of document transmission in real time 5. Inability to establish reliable knowledge or negotiation of recipient capabilities 6. Inability to satisfy legal as well as general custom and practice for document transmission technologies. (Typically these are applied to GSTN Fax) 7. Least Common Denominators for Document Transmission 8. Inability to establish security and confidentiality of document transmission The purpose of the work group will be to investigate current work within the IETF and identify protocols, procedures and policies that can satisfy the requirements for document transmission with a high degree of fidelity and reliability. It is believed that elements of the Internet Print Protocol 1.1, if extended and amended may overcome many if not most of the limitations described above. Work would define an appropriate “super set” of existing IPP 1.1 functionality to satisfy these requirements. The work group may consider attribute extensions and additional service requirements to IPP 1.1 that would permit IPP to intreoperate with other document transmission services such as RFC2305 [Fax over SMTP] and traditional T.30 fax on the GSTN. The WG will not propose any revisions or extensions to IETF Internet Fax standards [RFC2305] and its successors. The group will take note of other areas within the IETF that may have direct bearing on reliable document delivery. Relevant areas include: - Security, Authentication and Encryption (SSL3 - TLS) - Sender Identification (vCard) - RFC2301 File Formats - Digital Signatures and Certificates - Third Party Receipt Confirmation The working group will coordinate its activities with the Internet Print Protocol working group [IPP] and the Internet Fax working group [FAX] as well other document transmission related standards bodies and related work groups, notably the ITU-T Study Group 8. Goals and Milestones: May 1999 : Submit Internet Draft of Goals and Requirements for High Reliability Document Distribution August 1999 : Submit Internet Draft for IPP High Reliability Document Mode September 1999 : Submit Internet Draft of Reliable Gateway Services between IPP, SMTP and GSTN Facsimile >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Richard Shockey Shockey Consulting LLC 8045 Big Bend Blvd. Suite 110 St. Louis, MO 63119 Voice 314.918.9020 Fax 314.918.9015 INTERNET Mail & IFAX : rshockey@ix.netcom.com eFAX 815.333.1237 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
