> On Feb 11 and 12, there will be an Applications Area Architecture workshop somewhere in the Bay Area.  We 
> hope to nail down a venue once we've got a better idea of attendance.  We are going to look for a host, 
> but if there are a few expenses not covered, we may ask for a few 100$ attendance fee.  If we need to 
> charge a small fee we'll ask in advance of the actual meeting.

> Position papers are required of all attendees by Dec 14.  These should be a few pages of text on some 
> topic related to Applications area architectural issues.  Since the group of attendees is expected to 
> span HTTP and AtomPub, email, IM, calendaring, directories and more, issues should be of interest to more

> include SASL, URLs, MIME types, XML and XML schemas and namespaces, HTTP as a substrate, TLS, ABNF, BEEP.

> A position paper could describe a problem or make a proposal to solve a problem.  The paper could be a 
> prelude to an I-D of any kind or to a WG charter, or might simply educate and persuade.  An ideal 
> position paper would seed new work or make progress towards solving a problem that would benefit Apps 
> protocol designers, implementors or users.
>
> Participants may send position papers directly to Lisa and Chris, although you can send position papers 
> directly to the Apps Discuss list (we'll be circulating the papers publicly anyway).
>
> Since the due date for papers is Dec 14, if you'd like to flesh out an idea, the Vancouver IETF meeting 
> might be a handy place to grab people and do so.
>
> In advance of Dec 14, we'd still appreciate early RSVPs.
