2.  JIGS

Here are the current proposed JIGS.  Notice the focus is going to be on
major individual protocol extensions and pervasive technology
considerations.

1. Generic Conferencing -- will define a workable, extensible protocol for
conferencing/groupchat (cf. Dave Waite's work on a draft protocol) 

2. File Transfer (cf. Jer's initial work on PASS) 

3. Security -- will focus on authentication, message encryption, connection
security, etc. 

4. Standards Compliance -- will publish standards for Jabber technologies
and practices (such as Jabber derivative brands)

5. Text Formatting -- will determine the protocol for sending and receiving
formatted messages in Jabber (e.g., via XHTML) 

6. Browsing -- the replacement for agents, defined as a draft protocol.

7. Message Filtering  -- defines the mechanisms to filter messages based on
a variety of criteria.

8. Presence Management -- describe in detail how presence management
currently works, and work on proposals for extensions like invisibility).

A number of other areas of concern, such as the infrastructure,
documentation support, and business issues are going to be conducted in
separate committes of the Foundation.

3. JEP

At this point, we're going to take Rahul Dave's JEP process and start
working with it.  There are two relevant URLS:
