At the instigation of some proponents, I am bringing the attached
working group charter proposal to the IESG. Short version: the
proposal is to develop a Proposed Standard for an IMAP MOVE protocol
extension, which will most likely support only UID MOVE, and to do it
on a very short schedule. An initial proposal for such a protocol is
here:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gulbrandsen-imap-move/
...and that's a likely starting point for the working group.
Again: a very short schedule. We have a good starting proposal and a
fairly simple task (but see below), along with several implementations
that are asking for this. The discussion and progress will be tightly
managed.
I seriously question the need to spin up a working group just for this
one proposal. I realize that there is significant controversy over the
need for this extension, but having a working group won't change that
fact.
In my opinion this should be handled as an individual submission but
with an "experienced" shepherd "appointed" by the Apps ADs to manage
the development and consensus of this proposal
Cyrus, there was a private round of discussion with ADs and they
indicated that they are not willing to process this document as AD
sponsored (rightly so in this case).
- perhaps on a dedicated mailing list, but maybe reusing imapext or
some other suitable list. I would rather not waste time looking over a
charter and milestones and all the rest of the WG setup overhead when
there is just one document to deal with.
In any case, I am willing to volunteer to chair or be the shepherd as
I think this extension is important and long overdue.
