Description of Working Group:

The SIEVE email filtering language is specified in RFC 5228, together
with a number of extensions.

The SIEVE working group is being re-chartered to:

 (1) Finish work on existing in-progress Working Group documents:
     (a) External lists (draft-ietf-sieve-external-lists)
     (b) Notify SIP (draft-ietf-sieve-notify-sip-message)
     (c) RegEx (draft-ietf-sieve-regex)
     (d) Include/multi-script (draft-ietf-sieve-include)
     (e) Sieve in IMAP (draft-ietf-sieve-imap-sieve)

 (2) Finalize and publish the following SIEVE extensions as proposed
 standards:
     (a) General Auto-reply (draft-george-sieve-autoreply)
     (b) Notify presence (draft-george-sieve-notify-presence)
     (c) Vacation time (draft-george-sieve-vacation-time)
     (d) Convert messages (draft-melnikov-sieve-convert)

Additional drafts may be added to this list, but only via a charter
revision. There must also be demonstrable willingness in the SIEVE
development community to actually implement a given extension before it
can be added to this charter.

 (3) Work on a specification for iCalendar and vCard extraction, and
 cooperate with the VCARDDAV WG for address book tests in Sieve.

 (4) Work on a specification to describe how EAI/IDN issues should be
 handled in SIEVE.

 (5) Work on a "Benefits of SIEVE" guide for client and server vendors 
 that:
     (a) Describes the SIEVE protocol and its suite of extensions.
     (b) Explains the benefits of server-side filtering in practical  
     terms.
     (c) Shows how client-side filtering can be migrated to SIEVE.

 (6) Produce one or more informational RFCs containing a set of test
 scripts and test email messages that are to be filtered by the scripts,
 and the expected results of that filtering. This will serve as the 
 basis of a interoperability test suite to help determine the 
 suitability of moving the base specification and selected extensions to 
 Draft status.
