Status of HTTPS Transfer Specification

OpenC2 Technical Committee,ÂThis email provides a status of the resolution of comments to the HTTPS Transfer SpecificationÂStateless Packet Filtering Profile and provide an estimated delivery of a draft that can be considered for a second public review. This responds to an action assigned by the Technical Committee to the editor of the HTTPS Spec on January 11, 2019.BACKGROUND:ÂÂThe implementation considerations subcommittee identified 29 distinct issues to the Specification for Transfer of OpenC2 Messages via HTTPSÂand 27 GitHub pull requests have been generated.

Based on the deliberations at the January Face-to-Face and at subcommittee level, we have achieved general consensus on the following:Â*Â Â Â ÂAccepted 12 Pull Requests and close the corresponding issues*Â Â Â ÂRejected 1 Pull Request and closed the corresponding issueÂ*Â Â Â ÂTwo comments have withdrawn by the originatorWAY FORWARDThere are 8 substantive issues and 8 minor issues still not implemented.ÂThe editor believes that we have SC consensus on approving those requests, which will be confirmed at the 6 February IC-SC meeting.ÂÂAll open issues have associated pull requests, and the editor has notified the SC that the substantive issues are the agenda for the upcoming meeting. There are very minor dependencies on resolution of Language SpecificationÂissues, but the editor doesn't anticipate these will delay finalizing the next version of the HTTPS Specification.

It is reasonable to expect delivery of the next CSDPR candidate for HTTPS Transfer Specification prior to the February 20 TC Monthly. We have medium-high confidence in this assessment. Â

Thank youÂÂ

Dave
