> Hi,
> Peter Saint-Andre, Joe Hildebrand and I are organizing an HyBi BOF  
> in Hiroshima.
> If you would like to participate, please join the hybi@ietf.org <mailto:hybi@ietf.org

>
> We are still working on the Charter Proposal and on the Agenda so  
> all the proposal and comments are welcome!
>
> The purpose of this BoF and eventual WG is to work on
> "HTTP bidirectional" communication and both its improvement and  
> evolution in new a protocol(s)
>
> Here are the topics we are thinking to include in the charter  
> proposal:
>
>   *   Characterize and describe the design space for long-poll
>     applications
>   *   list the Requirements for new browser protocol
>   *   New browser protocol. WebSockets as a possible starting point.
>   *   at the same time, while waiting for new eventual protocol to be
>     deployed,
>       we envision the need to continue to improve the long-poll  
> approach:
>         o a suggested long-poll approach
>         o how to improve or optimize middle-box (e.g. proxy)
>           interoperability
>         o Protocol bindings into the long-poll approach
