Speaking as co-Chair:

A virtual interim meeting is certainly an option and available. Meetings can 
also be held in person but I’m assuming you’re asking for a virtual meeting. 
Planning is different if it’s going to be a meeting in person.

Let’s first start with who is willing and would attend the interim meeting? 
Let’s make sure we have more than a few people. Would folks please respond on 
list if they will attend? Based on the discussion I’m presuming that Andy, 
Pawel, Scott, Murray, Jasdip, and Mario are at least interested.

In addition, is there anyone who would like to chair the meeting? It’s not 
required that one of the co-Chairs do it and it seems to me that the folks in 
the discussion should be able to manage the meeting themselves. In addition to 
managing the discussion you’d have to make sure there’s an attendance record 
and provide a meeting summary for the record (which really only has to contain 
action items). Your Chairs will make sure the meeting gets set up. Please 
indicate if you’re willing to lead the discussion.

Finally, note that we’ll need at least two weeks notice for the meeting. So, 
once we see that we have a reasonable set of people, I propose to use a Doodle 
to find a date and time for the meeting.

Thanks,

Jim

Hi all,

Since this Extensions draft would be a useful contribution for clarifying the 
RDAP extensibility, and that there are other drafts waiting on it for a more 
definitive naming guidance, would it be more productive if we held an interim 
meeting before the next IETF to focus on ironing out any disagreements, 
especially the one about bare identifiers?

Jim/Antoin/Orie, please advise on this matter.

Thanks,
Jasdip

[PK] Well, I don't like framing of my position with a lot of rhetoric.
"violation of the rules" sounds so obvious that it should be forbidden,
that it frames directly any disagreement into a difficult position to
argument for it.

In fact "the rules" set in 2.1 of RFC9083 are no rules, but a
recommendation (SHOULD) itself. So I argument actually to keep the
status quo of RFC9083 as opposed to defining new rules as now the change
of -05 proposes.

Also in the original E-mail you mentioned "complex set of rules" that
hinder interoperability without actually any evidence which these are or
would be. I went though all changes in -05 and I didn't find any point
where the rules got simplified in any way.

Finally I argument that the provisions of STD 95 are absolutely
sufficient to maintain interoperability. By including the changes of
-05, even though the document ought to guide extension authors not the
implementations, it might either misguide the implementations which
would implement stricter rules and not be able to handle extension from
before extension draft publication as RFC - so the interoperability
would suffer in the end.

[PK] That is correct and likely right to do so. Worth mentioning that
the -05 document uses "RECOMMENDED" in 9 places and "SHOULD" in 39 so I
really don't take it as a valid criteria to decide whether to change
RFC9083 / STD 95 or not.

[PK] As mentioned above, "the rules" are recommendations, so there is no
violation taking place.

Kind Regards,

Pawel
