Hi everyone,

As revised during today's virtual bar-BoF, here is the updated 
proposed charter:

-------------------------------------------------
SLIM: Selection of Language for Internet Media

Description of Working Group:

A mutually comprehensible language is helpful for human 
communication.  This is true across a range of circumstances and 
environments.  In general, the problem is most acute in situations 
where there is not a clear choice for a single language, such as 
environments lacking contextual or out-of-band information regarding 
the identity of the parties and the language to be used.

The group will address two specific cases that most urgently need a 
technical solution: One problem space is non-real-time communication, 
specifically email for one-to-many or where the set of recipients is 
dynamic or different recipients require different languages; the 
other is real-time communication, specifically emergency calling, 
preferably also useful for other cases where the parties may not know 
each other personally or where one party wishes to accommodate people 
with varying language and media needs.

In the real-time communication case, language and media are 
intrinsically linked, for example, signed languages require a video 
media.

While the two use cases are in different contexts (real time and 
non-real-time), the fundamental goal is the same: to enable selection 
of the best-fit language(s) for a specific situation.  Some of the 
details will also be in common across the cases, e.g., the language 
tags.  Having a single WG address both cases makes it clear that 
these are two aspects of the same basic problem.  A single WG also 
makes it easier to maximize similarities and avoid unnecessary 
fragmentation of the solutions, and facilitates broader review.

The group will produce two documents, one for email, and one for 
real-time communications.

In the email case, the group will determine a MIME based solution 
that enables a single email message to contain multiple language 
versions of the content, with provisions to help clients select a 
best fit version.

In the real-time communication case, the group will produce a 
specification based on draft-gellens-slim-negotiating-human-language, 
enabling negotiation of a human language per media stream.  The 
specification must be suitable for use in emergency communications as 
specified in RFC 6443 and RFC 6881 (which use SIP and SDP to 
negotiate media); it is desirable to also be suitable for use in 
non-emergency real-time communications that share the same call 
set-up and media negotiation protocols.  The mechanism will permit 
the caller's media and language needs and preferences to be matched 
against what the called party is able to provide.  The mechanism will 
permit resources (e.g., translation, relay, media) to be allocated or 
engaged as early as possible in the call set-up or for the call to be 
routed or handled specially (e.g., routed to a resource able to 
provide a needed language and/or media).  Alternatives such as doing 
the negotiation in SIP have been thoroughly explored in the past and 
are out of scope (although the scope might be extended after the SDP 
mechanism has been advanced).

By adding language to the existing media negotiation mechanism as 
used in RFC 6443 and RFC 6881, the group can meet the basic use cases 
with minimal added complexity and be able to enhance later for 
additional use cases as needed.

Goals and Milestones:

October 2015 -- Submit "Multiple Language Content Type" to the IESG 
(based on draft-tomkinson-slim-multilangcontent)

February 2016 -- Submit "Negotiating Human Language in Real-Time 
Communications" to the IESG (based on 
draft-gellens-slim-negotiating-human-language)

A new IETF working group has been proposed in the Applications and
Real-Time Area. The IESG has not made any determination yet. The
following draft charter was submitted, and is provided for informational
purposes only. Please send your comments to the IESG mailing list (iesg
at ietf.org) by 2015-07-06.

Charter:

Description of Working Group:

A mutually comprehensible language is helpful for human communication. 
This is true across a range of circumstances and environments.  In
general, the problem is most acute in situations where there is not a
clear choice for a single language, such as environments lacking
contextual or out-of-band information regarding the identity of the
parties and the language to be used.

The group will address two specific cases that most urgently need a
technical solution: One problem space is non-real-time communication,
specifically email for one-to-many or where the set of recipients is
dynamic or different recipients require different languages; the other is
real-time communication, specifically emergency calling, preferably also
useful for other cases where the parties may not know each other
personally or where one party wishes to accommodate people with varying
language and media needs.

In the real-time communication case, language and media are intrinsically
linked, for example, signed languages require a video media.

While the two use cases are in different contexts (real time and
non-real-time), the fundamental goal is the same: to enable selection of
the best-fit language(s) for a specific situation.  Some of the details
will also be in common across the cases, e.g., the language tags.  Having
a single WG address both cases makes it clear that these are two aspects
of the same basic problem.  A single WG also makes it easier to maximize
similarities and avoid unnecessary fragmentation of the solutions, and
facilitates broader review.

The group will produce two documents, one for email, and one for
real-time communications.

In the email case, the group will determine a MIME based solution that
enables a single email message to contain multiple language versions of
the content, with provisions to help clients select a best fit version.

In the real-time communication case, the group will produce a
specification based on draft-gellens-slim-negotiating-human-language,
enabling negotiation of a human language per media stream.  The
specification must be suitable for use in emergency communications as
specified in RFC 6443 and RFC 6881 (which use SIP and SDP to negotiate
media); it is desirable to also be suitable for use in non-emergency
real-time communications that share the same call set-up and media
negotiation protocols.  The mechanism will permit the caller's media and
language needs and preferences to be matched against what the called
party is able to provide.  The mechanism will permit resources (e.g.,
translation, relay, media) to be allocated or engaged as early as
possible in the call set-up or for the call to be routed or handled
specially (e.g., routed to a resource able to provide a needed language
and/or media).  Alternatives such as doing the negotiation in SIP have
been thoroughly explored in the past and are out of scope (although the
scope might be extended after the SDP mechanism has been advanced).

By adding language to the existing media negotiation mechanism as used in
RFC 6443 and RFC 6881, the group can meet the basic use cases with
minimal added complexity and be able to enhance later for additional use
cases as needed.

Milestones:
  Oct 2015 - Submit "Multiple Language Content Type" to the IESG (based
on draft-tomkinson-slim-multilangcontent)
  Feb 2016 - Submit "Negotiating Human Language in Real-Time
Communications" to the IESG (based on
draft-gellens-slim-negotiating-human-language)
