The Domain Name System (DNS) provides an essential service on the Internet, mapping structured names to a variety of data, usually IP addresses. These names appear in email addresses, Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs), and other application-layer identifiers that are often rendered to human users. Because of this, there has been a strong demand to acquire names that have significance to people, through equivalence to registered trademarks, company names, types of services, and so on. There is a danger in this trend; the humans and automata that consume and use such names will associate specific semantics with some names and thereby make assumptions about the services that are, or should be, provided by the hosts associated with the names. Those assumptions can often be false, resulting in a variety of failure conditions. This document discusses this problem in more detail and makes recommendations on how it can be avoided.

In order to satisfy these customer requirements, service and content providers should have the possibility to provide their customers with the quoted features if they wish to do so. The scope of this work item is to identify requirements and develop additional technologies to enable the use of secure removable media with OMA DRM compliant devices. To enable the OMA DRM based secure removable media, technologies such as device-to-device authentication, revocation status checking before engaging in the transfer of DRM protected content, etc. may be required. New requirement document also will be developed.

The Domain Name System (DNS) provides an essential service on the Internet, mapping structured names to a variety of data, usually IP addresses. These names appear in email addresses, URIs, and other application layer identifiers that are often rendered to human users. Because of this, there has been a strong demand to acquire names that have significance to people, through equivalence to registered trademarks, company names, types of services, and so on. There is a danger in this trend; the humans and automata that consume and use such names will associate specific semantics with some names and thereby make assumptions about the services that are, or should be, provided by the hosts associated with the names. Those assumptions can often be false, resulting in a variety of failure conditions. This document discusses this problem in more detail and makes recommendations on how it can be avoided.

Wed, 31 Aug 2005 14:00:00 -0700 http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-link-indications-03.txt The IAB has revised its draft document on "Architectural Implications of Link Indications." This document describes the role of link indications within the Internet Architecture. While the judicious use of link indications can provide performance benefits, inappropriate use can degrade both robustness and performance. This document summarizes current proposals, describes the architectural issues and provides examples of appropriate and inappropriate uses of link layer indications. Thu, 18 Aug 2005 14:00:00 -0700 http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-messaging-report-00.txt The IAB has published a new draft document on "Report of the 2004 IAB Messaging Workshop." This document reports the outcome of a workshop held by the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) on the future of Internet messaging. The workshop was held on 6 and 7 October 2004 in Burlingame, CA, USA. The goal of the workshop was to examine the current state of different messaging technologies on the Internet (including, but not limited to, electronic mail, instant messaging, and voice messaging), look at their commonalities and differences, and find engineering, research, and architectural topics on which future work could be done. This report summarizes the discussions and conclusions of the workshop and of the IAB. Mon, 15 Aug 2005 14:00:00 -0700 http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-ieee-802-rel-01.txt The IAB has published a revision of its draft document on "The IEEE 802/IETF Relationship." Since the mid 1990s, IEEE 802 and IETF have cooperated in the development of SNMP MIBs and AAA applications. This document describes the policies and procedures that have developed in order to coordinate between the two organizations, as well as some of the relationship history.

It is probable that none of this has impact on the IETF. I will doublecheck, but since the last significant meeting is August 24th, followed by SG13 (which is much more likely to have impact), I will do so at those meetings.

The work of OMA and others has already provided the means to enable rich media services, e.g. browsing, MMS, etc. This work item aims at enabling further enhanced rich-media services for such devices.

In particular, while great care is generally taken to provide a complete description of the state machines and bits on the wire, this level of detail tends to get in the way of initial understanding. This document describes an approach for providing protocol "models" that allow reviewers to quickly grasp the essence of a system.
