*Discussion*

Deke noted that there is no general-purpose feedback mechanism in Jabber. 
There
is a XEP for conveying mood, however; see
http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0107.html. Michael observed that it's hard 
to
imagine this being internationalized.

Michael has confirmed that Jabber can do pseudonymity. [ACTION] Deke and Mark
will experiment with pseudonymity in Jabber chatrooms.

Deke has confirmed that [ACTION] Mark will revise the features list at
https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/picwg/PIC-WG+Features+List ,
adding XMPP items to the "Protocol Specific" section, and making
the "User Features" and "Security and Privacy" sections protocol-agnostic.
This will serve as a source for the feature list in the PIC survey (draft at
https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/picwg/PIC+Project+Proposal+Survey)

[ACTION] Candace will send Deke, Mark, Neal, Dennis and Tim email to set up a
conference call to work on the feature lists.
