Liaison statement
Conclusion of LEMONADE WG

From: IETF LEMONADE Working Group
To: OMA MWG
Date: December 2009
Title: Conclusion of LEMONADE WG
Response contact:  lemonade@ietf.org
Purpose:  For Information

The IETF LEMONADE working group (WG) would like to congratulate the OMA MEM WG
on the completion of the MEM Enabler.  We appreciate the collaboration over the
last few years that has led to this milestone, and has also helped improve the
quality of the work of both organizations in the process.

As an update, the LEMONADE WG has completed the following documents in line
with our charter:

RFC 4467 – IMAP URL Authorization (URLAUTH)
RFC 4468 – IMAP BURL
RFC 4469 – IMAP CATENATE
RFC 4550 – LEMONADE Profile
RFC 4551 – IMAP Conditional STORE (CONDSTORE)
RFC 4731 – IMAP ESEARCH
RFC 4978 – IMAP COMPRESS
RFC 5032 – IMAP SEARCH WITHIN
RFC 5092 – IMAP URL
RFC 5161 – IMAP ENABLE
RFC 5162 – IMAP Quick Mailbox Resync
RFC 5259 – LEMONADE CONVERT
RFC 5423 – Message Events
RFC 5465 – IMAP NOTIFY
RFC 5466 – LEMONADE Filters
RFC 5524 – IMAP URLFETCH binary
RFC 5616 – LEMONADE streaming
RFC 5551 – LEMONADE Notifications
RFC 5550 – LEMONADE Profile bis

As you know, the work of the LEMONADE WG was focused on a set of extensions to
IMAP and ESMTP to support mobile email.  This work has now concluded with the
publication of LEMONADE Profile bis (RFC 5550).  We notice that the OMA MEM 1.0
Enabler has normatively referenced the LEMONADE profile for the MEM protocol. 
However, the current reference is to the Internet-Draft version.  We recommend
that the MEM 1.0 Enabler references (in at least the AD and TS) be updated to
include the reference to RFC 5550 and other relevant RFCs.

We would also like to inform you that, per IETF process, as our charter has
completed the LEMONADE WG will soon be closed.  As a result, any future
liaisons regarding any of the LEMONADE documents should be directed to the
Applications Area Directors on the Applications Area mailing list
apps-discuss@ietf.org.

Note that the LEMONADE mailing list lemonade@ietf.org will remain active
indefinitely for any implementation or document questions that may arise, as
well.
