Abstract

This document defines requirements for the user discovery problem within the More Instant Messaging Interoperability (MIMI) working group. User discovery is essential for interoperability, allowing message senders to locate recipients across diverse platforms using globally unique, cross-service identifiers (e.g., email addresses, phone numbers). The core challenge involves reliably mapping these identifiers to messaging service providers and determining the reachability of a recipient's identifier across multiple providers.
