IETF Applications Area Directorate

The IETF Applications Area Directorate provides support to the Area Directors for the  IETF Applications Area and is tasked to:

• perform document reviews as requested by the Application Area Directors

• identify work in other IETF Areas that have an impact on or are similar to technologies produced in the Applications Area

• make sure that technologies developed in the Applications Area or about which Application Area participants have expertise (URIs/IRIs, MIME, XML, IDNA, Stringprep, etc.) are used appropriately in other areas.

• determine the impact on Applications Area work on technologies produced in other areas (DNS, TLS, SASL, etc.).

• sort out layering issues and preserve a clear division of responsibilities among various application protocols.

• maintain high standards of application-layer security, ensure close attention to issues of internationalization and localization, etc.

Area Directors being advised:

• Pete Resnick
• Peter Saint-Andre

The Applications Area Directorate consists of the Working Group Chairs of the Applications Area and recognized experts in the Applications Area. The reviews performed are semi-formal. The team uses the members-only  appsdir mailing list for internal discussion. Reviews typically take the form described in the template. A tracker page provides a history of completed reviews.

To request a review, please contact the Team Lead (currently  S. Moonesamy) or the Applications Area Directors.
