Preliminary agenda for the September 9th meeting in DC.

• Transport assumptions:
  • Investigating properties offered by XMMP-MUC (and cost of considering other protocols)
  • Offering reliable transport (deciding if its part of this protocol or part of the transport layer and implications over transcript consistency)

• Transcript consistency:
  • Choice between simple consistency for globally order messages or incremental for less reliable transport.
  • Figuring out if mpOTR is only responsible for announcing inconsistency or it is also need to try to recover from inconsistency.

• Consistence view:
  • mpOTR require that member of each session has the same view of the room before the session starts and all see the same text.
  • The DoS attacks that can be applied to consistence room view scenario and its mitigation.
  • The benefit of having a shared key or each individual manages their own key.

By the end of the meeting, final protocol specification should be decided, specifically:

• Simple consistency vs incremental consistency
• Requiring a consistent view of the room
• Shared key or independent key
