Hi folks, At last week's interim meeting, the emerging sense of the room was that the QUIC WG is the right place for work on adapting QUIC streams to a secure, reliable, and bidirectional byte stream substrate. We spent time during the session discussion the charter change(s) that might be required to do so; balanced against the use cases, requirements and some of the _possible_ solution space.
During the meeting we started to hone some proposed charter text. In order to refine and finalize the charter change proposal, as per our usual processes for iterating on text ,I have opened a PR against the current QUIC WG charter https://github.com/quicwg/wg-materials/pull/240. This change is presently proposed as a new paragraph at the end of the charter text. Another option would be to append it to the existing bullet point list of work areas, as a new fourth area. Comments, questions, or suggestions specific to the text are welcome on the PR. If you have comments, support or objection to the higher-level topic of rechartering, please respond to this thread. We are looking to get this finalized and in a state where we have something ready to take forward through the formal process steps. So lets target a two week feedback period closing on 2025-06-23 anywhere on earth [1]. Finally, while there is a lot of interest and active discussion in the nature of technical solution in this area, that is tangential to this piece on rechartering. Please keep that in separate threads. Cheers Lucas & Matt QUIC WG Chairs P.S. the text at the time of writing is based on slides edited live during the meeting, a copy of those has been uploaded to the datatracker [2] [1] - https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe [2] - https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/interim-2025-quic-01/materials/slides-interim-2025-quic-01-sessa-chartering-discussion-00
