In Paris, we set a deadline for proposals for further work around HTTP/2.0 at June 15.

The proposals we've received are listed here:
  http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/wiki/Http2Proposals
  http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/wiki/HttpAuthProposals

Note that a few are not fully-formed proposals in their own right, and therefore they're not really appropriate to consider as starting points for further work, but instead as input documents that can inform further discussion once we choose a starting point.

My goal is to be able to request a re-charter -- provided we agree that this is necessary -- soon after the Vancouver meeting.

To help gather information about this, we're making a Call for Expressions of Interest in the various proposals from implementers and deployers of HTTP. Please have a look at

  http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/wiki/Http2CfI

send your own feedback, and circulate that link among the folks who you know work on or use HTTP.

Regards,
