Technical Summary
 
There are three functions in a presence system; namely subscriptions,
publishing and notifications. Authorization is a key function in presence
systems. Authorization policies, also known as authorization rules,
specify what presence information, when sending notifications, can be
given to which watchers, and when. This specification defines an XML
document format for expressing presence authorization rules. Such a
document can be manipulated by clients using XCAP, although other
techniques are permitted.
 
Working Group Summary
