Role: Prolific individual-draft author; long-standing IETF RTC/security contributor
Contributions
- Lead author of the MOCHA suite (
draft-jennings-moq-mocha-*, 6 parts, filed 2026-07-06) — a full RTC architecture over MOQT: chat, meetings, identity, MLS keying, reactions, address book. - Co-author (with suhas-nandakumar) of MoQ URI and Discovery —
draft-jennings-moq-discovery(rev-00 2026-08-14 → rev-02 2026-09-05) was renamed/consolidated intodraft-jennings-moq-uri-00(2026-10-07, 14 pp, Standards Track), which now carries themoqtURI scheme + resolution + TLS (SAN-only) cert matching plus the DNS/mDNS discovery content — the external home for the URI definition transport PR #1971 moves out of scope (follow-on to his Sep-5 list thread + PR #1909/#1901, issue #1839). - Co-author of TEMPO (with suhas-nandakumar) — synchronized media playout orchestration.
- Active on secure-objects and the WG’s Authorization Design Team.
- Drove the ~59-issue read-through of draft-18 (2026-06-15) that shaped the editorial pass leading to draft-19.
Positions in WG debates
- Joining FETCH: would keep Joining FETCH pending operational experience rather than replace it with fill-fetch; flags error-delivery, duplicate-object, and nested-
FILL_PARAMETERSconcerns. See joining-fetch-dissent. - IETF-126 scope reduction: formally objected when the chairs called consensus to move range filters and SSTS out of core moq-transport, citing a roughly 50/50 room split. The Area Director affirmed the chairs’ right to call consensus — a contested but standing determination.
- Top-N DDoS: presented Top-N denial-of-service concerns at the London interim.
