PROTO questionnaire for: draft-pd-dispatch-msrp-websocket-12
Date: May 4, 2016
(1) What type of RFC is being requested (BCP, Proposed Standard, Internet
Standard, Informational, Experimental, or Historic)? Why is this the proper
type of RFC? Is this type of RFC indicated in the title page header?
This document is to be published as a Proposed Standard. It is an update to
existing Standards track RFCs (RFC 4975 and RFC 4976) thus it is the proper
type and it as indicated as such in the title page.
(2) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement Write-Up.
Please provide such a Document Announcement Write-Up. Recent examples can be
found in the "Action" announcements for approved documents. The approval
announcement contains the following sections:
Technical Summary
The WebSocket protocol enables two-way real-time communication
between clients and servers in situations where direct access to TCP
and UDP are not available (for example, from within Javascript in a
web browser). This document specifies a new WebSocket sub-protocol
as a reliable transport mechanism between MSRP (Message Session Relay
Protocol) clients and relays to enable usage of MSRP in new
scenarios. This document normatively updates RFC 4975 and RFC 4976.
Working Group Summary
This document has been reviewed by the DISPATCH WG, although it is not a WG
document. Per the DISPATCH process, this document is being progressed as AD
sponsored as the protocol to which it relates was developed in a WG that is now
closed and the scope of the protocol work in this document was deemed
appropriate for AD sponsorship.
Document Quality
The document has been reviewed by the DISPATCH WG. Ben Campbell (pre-AD days)
did an expert review of the document and his comments have been addressed.
Personel
Mary Barnes is the document shepherd and Ben Campbell is the responsible AD.

(4) Does the document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or breadth of
the reviews that have been performed?

(5) Do portions of the document need review from a particular or from broader
perspective, e.g., security, operational complexity, AAA, DNS, DHCP, XML, or
internationalization? If so, describe the review that took place.
No.
(6) Describe any specific concerns or issues that the Document Shepherd has
with this document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the IESG should be
aware of? For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable with certain parts of
the document, or has concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any
event, if the interested community has discussed those issues and has indicated
that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those concerns here.
The document shepherd has no concerns.

required for full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79 have
already been filed. If not, explain why.
Yes.
(8) Has an IPR disclosure been filed that references this document? If so,
summarize any discussion and conclusion regarding the IPR disclosures.
There is no IPR associated with this document.
(9) How solid is the consensus of the interested community behind this

agree with it?
There were no concerns raised around the publication of this document.
(10) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent?
If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in separate email messages to the
Responsible Area Director. (It should be in a separate email because this
questionnaire is publicly available.)
No.
(11) Identify any ID nits the Document Shepherd has found in this document.
(See http://www.ietf.org/tools/idnits/ and the Internet-Drafts Checklist).
Boilerplate checks are not enough; this check needs to be thorough.
The draft has been validated for nits using idnits 2.14.01. There are a few
warnings that are not problematic.
(12) Describe how the document meets any required formal review criteria, such
as the MIB Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews.
No formal reviews are required.
(13) Have all references within this document been identified as either
normative or informative?
Yes.
(14) Are there normative references to documents that are not ready for
advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? If such normative references
exist, what is the plan for their completion?
No.
(15) Are there downward normative references references (see RFC 3967)? If so,
list these downward references to support the Area Director in the Last Call
procedure.
No.
(16) Will publication of this document change the status of any existing RFCs?
Are those RFCs listed on the title page header, listed in the abstract, and
discussed in the introduction? If the RFCs are not listed in the Abstract and
Introduction, explain why, and point to the part of the document where the
relationship of this document to the other RFCs is discussed. If this
information is not in the document, explain why the interested community
considers it unnecessary.
No, this document does not change the status of any existing RFCs.
(17) Describe the Document Shepherd's review of the IANA considerations
section, especially with regard to its consistency with the body of the
document. Confirm that all protocol extensions that the document makes are
associated with the appropriate reservations in IANA registries. Confirm that
any referenced IANA registries have been clearly identified. Confirm that newly
created IANA registries include a detailed specification of the initial
contents for the registry, that allocations procedures for future registrations
are defined, and a reasonable name for the new registry has been suggested (see
RFC 5226).
The shepherd has reviewed the IANA considerations. This document adds a new
value to an existing registry, which is clearly specified in the IANA
considerations section.
(18) List any new IANA registries that require Expert Review for future
allocations. Provide any public guidance that the IESG would find useful in
selecting the IANA Experts for these new registries.
This document defines no new IANA registries.
(19) Describe reviews and automated checks performed by to validate sections of
the document written in a formal language, such as XML code, BNF rules, MIB
definitions, etc.
No automated checks were done for this document - the BNF and message examples
were visually checked by the authors.
