UUIDREV

Summary

The UUIDREV Working Group met to discuss the status of draft-ietf-uuidrev-rfc4122bis-03 and determine the next steps. It was confirmed that there were no significant open technical issues with the draft, including previous discussions on SHA-1 usage. The Working Group decided to initiate a Working Group Last Call (WGLC) for the current draft, with an expected duration of four weeks. Plans were also made to ensure relevant external liaison organizations and communities are informed of the WGLC.

Key Discussion Points

Meeting Logistics: Chairs ensured proper setup, including the Note Well reminder and availability of meeting materials.
Open Issues Review:
- Only one minor grammatical error ("double seconds") was noted in draft-ietf-uuidrev-rfc4122bis-03. It was deemed minor enough not to warrant a new draft version solely for its correction, and would be incorporated if other changes arose during WGLC.
- The Working Group confirmed that all prior discussions and issues related to SHA-1 usage in UUIDs had been resolved to the satisfaction of those present.
Working Group Last Call (WGLC):
- A sense of those present indicated readiness to proceed with a WGLC for draft-ietf-uuidrev-rfc4122bis-03.
- The WGLC was set for a duration of four weeks.
- It was noted that the shepherd write-up is not required until after the WGLC concludes.
Liaison Communication: The importance of informing external organizations and communities, specifically ITU-T and ISO, as well as prototypers and the libuuid community, about the WGLC was emphasized due to their upstream documents and implementations relying on UUID specifications.
Future Meetings: No further interim meetings were scheduled, contingent on a smooth WGLC and IESG review process.
