The following errata report has been rejected for RFC8280,
"Research into Human Rights Protocol Considerations".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:

--------------------------------------
Status: Rejected
Type: Technical

Reported by: Florian Schmaus <[email-masked]>
Date Reported: 2018-03-26
Rejected by: Allison Mankin (IRTF Chair) (IRSG)

Section: 5.2.3.4.1.

Original Text
-------------
Likewise, user invisibility so that communication can
occur while users don't notify all buddies and other servers of their
availability is not part of the formal protocol and has only been
added as an extension within the XML stream rather than enforced by
the protocol.

Corrected Text
--------------

Notes
-----
The sentence is not correct and thus misleading. XMPP imposes no restriction on communication depending on your own presence status. It is perfectly fine to communicate with someone *without* notifying "all buddies and other servers" of your availability.
 --VERIFIER NOTES-- 
   The RFC's editors concluded that accepting the erratum would not add value.  IRTF Chair agrees.
