Distributed Trace Context Community Group Launched

With your support, the Distributed Trace Context Community Group has been launched:
  http://www.w3.org/community/trace-context/

This group was originally proposed on 2017-12-13
by Sergey Kanzhelev. The following people supported its
creation: 
      Sergey Kanzhelev
      Adrian Cole
      Andreas Schilling
      riccardo tommasini
      Sheng Wu
  

To join the group, please use:

Please note that supporting a group is different from joining
a group. Supporters must also enroll if they wish to participate.

--------------------
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.
