Name: Vcon

Description

At IETF 115, draft-petrie-vcon was presented in the DISPATCH WG.
There appeared to be support for starting a WG for Vcon and it did not seem to fit in an existing WG.
This BOF request is to review and refine a charter for a new Vcon WG.

The goal of forming a Vcon WG is to define a standard SON based container for data and information relating to a human conversation.
With a standard container, it can:
* Ease export of conversation data from communication services and silos
* Ease integration of import of conversation data into services which provide transcription, translation and analysis
* Ease tracking of individuals' data and conversation for redaction or deletion
* Ease protection of individual private data and conversations
