RE: EPP to Draft: Next Steps

I think the second option would be desirable Scott, but just to clarify what
you had in mind,....I assume you mean a testbed that demonstrates compliance
with the core RFC's and not, for example, 3915.

We could hold a meeting at the next IETF meeting to organize how we would do
this with interested participants.

Subject: [ietf-provreg] EPP to Draft: Next Steps

Now that all of the EPPbis -00 drafts are published, we need to think about
what we do with them.  In addition, moving EPP to Draft Standard status
requires completion of an interoperability report for the protocol.  Here's
my take on needed next steps:

1. I need to make a minor edit to the contact (3733bis) and host
(3732bis) documents to fix one last <poll> use description.  I described
that fix here [1].  I also need to add a sentence to 3730bis (EPP core) to
note that it obsoletes 3730.  The references in 3731bis (domain) will need
to be updated if 3732bis and 3733bis change.  These are the last needed
document changes I'm aware of.

2. There are a couple of ways we can create an interop report.  We can start
with a template that we ask implementers to complete to describe their
client and server implementation and test experiences.  We can also try to
schedule a more-or-less "formal" interop event for people to test their
clients with other participant's servers and vice-versa using an agreed-upon
script.  This would require that participants set up accessible test rigs,
but the end results would be more compelling.

I'd prefer the latter, though I know it's more hands-on work.  What do other
implementers think?
