[XEP-0001: XMPP Extension Protocols](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html)
defines the standards process followed by the XMPP Standards Foundation.
Building XEPs
-------------
You'll need xmllint and xsltproc.
On Ubuntu, you can install them with `sudo apt install libxml2-utils xsltproc`
To build a single XEP as HTML simply run:
make xep-xxxx.html
To build PDFs, you'll need to install [TeXML](http://getfo.org/texml/) (probably
in a Python 2 virtual environment).
You can then build PDFs with:
make xep-xxxx.pdf
To change the output directory, set the variable `OUTDIR`, eg.
OUTDIR=/tmp/xeps make all
For more information try `make help`.
Using Docker
------------
A full set of HTML and PDFs can be generated inside a docker container, with no
dependencies on the host other than Docker itself, and served by nginx in the
container. To build the template `make docker`, to run it `make testdocker`
(serves on http://localhost:3080), and to stop/delete it afterwards `make
stopdocker`
Gardening (Issue triaging by non-editors)
-----------------------------------------
For new PRs, anyone with permission may perform gardening tasks.
The [Go wiki] summarizes "gardening" as:
> the background maintenance tasks done to keep the project healthy & growing &
> nice looking.
In this repo, gardening is mostly triaging issues.
An issue is considered triaged when an editor has been assigned to it.
Untriaged issues that are in need of attention can be found using the following
filter: [`is:open is:pr no:assignee`]
To triage new issues or PRs, see the [Triaging a PR][#triaging-a-pr] section below.
Editor
======
------
The XMPP Extensions Editor (or, for short, XEP Editor) manages the XMPP
extensions process as defined in XMPP Extension Protocols ([XEP-0001]).
In addition, the XEP Editor functions as the XMPP Registrar as defined in XMPP
Registrar Function ([XEP-0053]).
Read those documents first, since this README focuses on mechanics instead of
philosophy or policy.
Documentation for Editors is in the [docs](docs/) folder.
All PRs
-------
For all PRs, start by ensuring that the IP release has been signed and that CI
has run and no issues were detected before merging.
Triaging a PR
-------------
If the PR is not touching a XEP, this guide does not apply. If the PR touches
multiple XEPs, go through the steps for each XEP and exit at the first which
applies.
1. Is the PR a ProtoXEP?
1. Does the PR touch existing XEPs? Close as [invalid] and ask the Opener
to split the two things.
2. Add the [ProtoXEP] and [Ready to Merge] labels.
3. Stop.
2. Sanity checks
1. Ensure that all XEPs are mentioned in the title as `XEP-XXXX`. E.g. `XEP-0084, XEP-0123: something`.
2. Continue.
3. Are the changes *for all XEPs* purely editorial?
1. Add the [Editorial Change] and [Ready to Merge] labels.
2. If the PR does not add a revision block, add the [Needs Version Block] label.
3. If the PR adds a revision block and does not only bump the patch-level (third) version number part, add the [Needs Version Block] label and a comment explaining the situation.
4. Stop.
4. Is the XEP **not** in Experimental state?
(Changes to Non—Experimental XEPs need approval by the approving body as
defined in the XEP file itself.)
1. Add the [Needs Council]/[Needs Board] label.
2. Send an email to the council chair and/or announce the PR in [The Council Room].
3. If the PR does not add a revision block, add the [Needs Version Block] label.
4. If the PR adds a revision block and does not bump the minor-level (second) version number part, add the [Needs Version Block] label and a comment explaining the situation.
5. Stop.
5. Is the XEP in Experimental state and the PR opener is not an author of the
XEP?
1. If the PR does not a revision block, add the [Needs Version Block] label.
2. If the PR adds a revision block and does not bump the minor-level (second) version number part, add the [Needs Version Block] label and a comment explaining the situation.
3. If the issue has not been discussed on the standards list *or* if
the authors have not been involved in the discussion *or* the author
has not explicitly ACKed the PR:
1. Make sure the standards@ discussion (if it exists) is linked in the
PR.
2. Add the [Needs Author] label.
3. Stop.
6. Mark the PR as [Ready to Merge].
Discussions
-----------
Technical discussions SHOULD NOT happen in the xeps repository. If you see a
discussion evolve into technical (as opposed to editorial) matters, do the
following (I havent tried that myself yet, so feel especially free to improve
the process):
1. Lock the conversation.
2. Copy the technical discussion parts into an email to standards@. My
preferred format for this would be something along the lines of:
Subject: XEP-1234: [insert PR subject here, or something more appropriate]
There was some discussion on the xeps repository an XEP-1234, which got
technical. I moved this discussion to standards@ so that the whole
community is aware of the issue and can participate.
@user1 wrote:
> quote user1 here ...
@user2 wrote:
> quote user2 here ...
Remove clearly editorial discussion and mark the removal with ``[…]``.
3. Add the [Needs List Discussion] label to the PR and link the standards@
thread you just created. Remove other labels (such as [Needs Author]).
4. Monitor the thread; when the discussion is resolved, the PR opener will
usually prepare an update. Unlock the conversation to allow editorial
discussion to continue, if needed. Remove the [Needs List Discussion] label
and re-triage the PR as described above.
**Note:** The locking is mostly used here as a tool to avoid a race
condition, not to exclude people from participating. (It would be
unfortunate if you had to add more comments to your already-sent email.)
Feel free to unlock at some point during the list discussion when youre
sure that all participants have taken note of the move.
General notes on making changes
-------------------------------
This section has some hints on the python scripts which help you doing the
more tedious tasks of sending emails and properly archiving XEPs.
*Before* you start working on merging a Pull Request:
* Ideally, you have the [xep-attic] repository cloned next to the xeps
repository.
* Before starting to prepare a merge and push, ensure that you have the XEP
metadata up-to-date locally:
$ make build/xeplist.xml
* Make a copy of the metadata:
$ cp build/xeplist.xml tools/old-xeplist.xml
(avoid putting random XML files in the xeps root directory, the build
tooling might mistake them as XEPs; so we put it somewhere else.)
*While* youre working on a Pull Request:
* Use the lokal docker build to ensure that everything is syntactically
correct. The process is described above in "Using Docker".
When you have *merged* the Pull Request and the change went through to the
webserver (see also the [Docker Build] to track the build progress):
* Send out the emails. First ensure that the new metadata is up-to-date:
$ make build/xeplist.xml
Check that the emails which will be sent are correct (the ``--dry-run``
switch prevents the tool from actually sending emails):
$ ./tools/send-updates.py --dry-run tools/old-xeplist.xml build/xeplist.xml standards@xmpp.org
(See also the ``--help`` output for more information.)
Once youve verified that the correct emails will be sent, actually send
them using (note the missing ``--dry-run`` flag):
$ ./tools/send-updates.py tools/old-xeplist.xml build/xeplist.xml standards@xmpp.org
A few tips:
1. You can also test-send them to your own address by replacing
``standards@xmpp.org`` with your own address.
2. To avoid having to enter your email account details every time, use a
configuration file. Invoke the tool with ``--help`` for more
information and ask [jonasw]/[@horazont] if things are still unclear.
If the tool misbehaves, pester [jonasw]/[@horazont] about it.
* Dont forget to archive the new versions of the XEPs. If you have the
[xep-attic] cloned next to the xeps repository, you can simply run:
$ ./tools/archive.py tools/old-xeplist.xml build/xeplist.xml
Otherwise, you will have to explicitly give the path to the attic:
$ ./tools/archive.py --attic /path/to/xep-attic/content/ tools/old-xeplist.xml build/xeplist.xml
(note that the path must point to the ``content`` subdirectory of the
[xep-attic].)
Dont forget to commit & push the changes to [xep-attic].
New ProtoXEPs
-------------
- Make sure the protoxep is in the `inbox/` tree and has a name that does not
start with "xep-" (you may change this or ask the author to change it).
- Make sure the version is `0.0.1` and the status is `ProtoXEP` (you may fix
this or ask the author to fix it).
- You may want to build the protoxep locally and ensure the HTML and PDF look
okay.
- Merge the PR as described in "Merging a PR". Once the email has been sent,
continue here.
- Create a card for the protoxep on the [Council Trello] under "Proposed
Agendums".
- Attach the PR to the card and link the generated HTML.
- Comment on the PR with a link to the card, thanking the author for their
submission and letting them know that their XEP will be voted on within the
next two weeks.
- If the council forgets and doesn't vote on the protoxep, pester them until
they do.
- If the council rejects the XEP, you're done (leave the XEP in the inbox and
inform the author of the councils decision). Otherwise, see
"Promoting a ProtoXEP".
Promoting a ProtoXEP
--------------------
- It is easiest to start a new branch, in case you screw something up on the way.
- Once the council approves a ProtoXEP, *copy* it out of the inbox and into the
root, assigning it the next available number in the XEP series.
- Modify the `<number/>` element in the XML file to match.
- Set the version to `0.1` and the initials to `XEP Editor: xyz` (replacing "xyz" with your own initials).
- Remove the `<interim/>` element from the XML file if it is included.
- Set the status to `Experimental`.
- Add a reference to the XEP in `xep.ent`.
- Make a commit.
- Treat your branch as you would treat a [Ready to Merge] PR in "Merging a PR".
(you dont need to create another branch though.)
Promoting XEPs
--------------
Ensure that the following sections exist (if not, ask the author to add them
before promoting the XEP):
- Security Considerations
- IANA Considerations
- XMPP Registrar Considerations
- XML Schema (for protocol specifications)
You can also refer to `xep-template.xml` for a recommended list of sections and
whether or not they are required.
For a helpful graph of how XEP promotion works, see [XEP-0001].
Deferring XEPs
--------------
Before Deferring XEPs, read the "General notes on making changes" section.
XEPs get deferred after 12 months of inactivity. There is a tool which handles
that process automatically, if it is invoked regularly.
First of all, you need an up-to-date ``xeplist.xml``:
make build/xeplist.xml
To get a list of XEPs which need to be deferred (without changing anything),
run:
./tools/deferrals.py -v
To apply the deferrals, make a new feature branch and execute:
./tools/deferrals.py -m 'initials'
where you replace ``initials`` with your editor initials so that it is obvious
who made the change (those initials will be used in the revision block).
This will modify the XEPs in-place. It uses heuristics for incrementing the
version number, finding and inserting the revision block as well as changing
the status. Yes, it involves regular expressions (because we dont want to
fully re-write the XML to keep the diffs minimal). It is thus vital that you
**use `git diff` to ensure that the changes are sane**. If the changes
are sane, make a commit and merge to master as described in "Merging a PR",
in accordance with the "General notes on making changes".
Merging a PR
------------
Before Merging a PR, read the "General notes on making changes" section.
When you get to the point that the PR is [Ready to Merge], do the following:
1. Create a new branch off master called ``feature/xep-1234`` (if the PR
touches multiple XEPs, I call it ``feature/xep-0678,xep-0789``).
2. Merge all [Ready to Merge] PRs which affect the XEP(s) into that branch.
3. Resolve conflicts.
4. If the PRs introduced multiple revision blocks, squash it down to a single
revision block. Set "XEP Editor (initials)" as author of the revision block
and add the initials of the original PR authors to the changelog entries.
(If that doesnt make sense to you, youll find plenty examples in the
XEPs.)
5. Ensure that everything builds by performing a full docker build (see above).
(Once the docker build reaches the point where the XEPs are built, you can
switch branches and work on another PR.)
6. If the build passes, check that the generated files look sane by running the
docker container.
7. Merge the PR into master. If you are working on independent changes to
multiple XEPs, you can merge them all in one go.
8. If you merged multiple things into master, re-do the docker build check.
9. Push.
10. Go back to "General notes on making changes".

Using the repository
====================
Building XEPs
-------------
You'll need xmllint and xsltproc.
On Ubuntu, you can install them with `sudo apt install libxml2-utils xsltproc`
To build a single XEP as HTML simply run:
make xep-xxxx.html
To build PDFs, you'll need to install [TeXML](http://getfo.org/texml/) (probably
in a Python 2 virtual environment).
You can then build PDFs with:

# Triaging a PR
## Dramatis Personae
- Author: Generally the author of the PR or MR.
- XEP Author: The Author of the XEP.
- Approving Body: Either the XMPP Council or the XSF Board. Which of those two
can be determined by looking at the `<approver/>` tag of the respective XEP.
- Processing Editor: The Editor which ultimately merges a PR to master.
## Labels
### Approval categories
- [Needs Council]: The changes need approval by the XMPP Council.
- [Needs Board]: The changes need approval by the XSF Board.
- [Needs Author]: The changes need approval by the XEP Author.
- [Needs List Discussion]: The changes need more discussion on the standards@
(or, in rare cases, members@) mailing lists; in general, there should be a
link to a mailing list thread in those PRs.
- [Editorial Change]: The changes do not need approval by anyone except the
Editor.
### Process categories
- [ProtoXEP]: The PR adds a new XEP to the inbox.
- [Ready to Merge]: The PR can be worked on by a Processing Editor. Note that
this does **not** imply that no further changes are needed.
- [Needs Version Block]: A version block needs to be added or modified before
the changes can enter master.
- [Needs Editor Action]: The Processing Editor needs to do something while
merging the PR, aside of or in addition to modifying a version block.
- [invalid]: The changes cannot be processed as-is at all; the PR is closed
without merge and without being handed to an approver.
## Process
### A General Note
Some of the cases where the below process suggests to ask the Author to do
something can also be handled by the Processing Editor. If it is realistic
that the workload for the Editors would be reduced by handling the task
themselves, use the [Needs Editor Action] label an an explanatory comment
instead.
### "Flowchart"
If the PR is not touching a XEP, this guide does not apply.
1. Is the PR a ProtoXEP?
1. Does the PR touch existing XEPs? Close as [invalid] and ask the Author
to split the two things.
2. Validate that the `<type/>` makes sense for the content (consult
[XEP-0001] if necessary). If it does not make sense, either add a
comment to let the Processing Editor know (adding the
[Needs Editor Action] label) or ask the Author to correct the problem.
3. Add the [ProtoXEP] and [Ready to Merge] labels.
4. Make sure the title of the PR is `XEP-XXXX: Title of the new XEP`.
5. Stop.
2. Sanity checks
1. Ensure that all XEPs are mentioned in the title as `XEP-XXXX`. E.g. `XEP-0084, XEP-0123: something`.
2. Continue.
3. Are the changes *for all XEPs* purely editorial?
Editorial changes are changes which do not touch normative language and
which do not change the meaning of the text. When in doubt, treat as
non-Editorial.
1. Add the [Editorial Change] and [Ready to Merge] labels.
2. If the PR does not add a revision block, add the [Needs Version Block]
label.
3. If the PR adds a revision block and does not only bump the patch-level
(third) version number part, add the [Needs Version Block] label and a
comment explaining the situation.
4. Stop.
4. Does the PR touch more than one XEP?
In general, we want to avoid PRs which touch multiple XEPs or which do
multiple non-Editorial changes at once. This is because the approving body
may disagree with part of the PR, which causes extra work.
Suggest the author to split the PR for that reason, unless it seems
realistic or obvious that the changes need to be done together to make
sense (an example is updating multiple XEPs which belong together, such
as the MIX family).
4. Is the XEP **not** in Experimental or Deferred state?
Changes to Non—Experimental or non-Deferred XEPs need approval by the
approving body as defined in the XEP file itself.
1. Add the [Needs Council]/[Needs Board] label. To know which, check the
`<approver/>` of the XEPs. If the touched XEPs have different approvers
go back to the previous step and closely examine if the PR should not
be split; it is very likely that it should be split in this situation.
If so, tag as [invalid] and inform the author, asking them to do a
split.
2. **For Council:** Send an email to the council chair and/or announce the
PR in [The Council Room].
**For Board:** Send an email to info@xmpp.org and/or talk directly to
Board members.
3. If the PR does not add a revision block, add the [Needs Version Block]
label.
4. If the PR adds a revision block and does not bump the minor-level
(second) version number part, add the [Needs Version Block] label and a
comment explaining the situation for the next Editor (the Author does
not need to do anything here).
6. Stop.
5. Is the XEP in Experimental or Deferred state and the PR opener is not an
author of the XEP?
Changes to Experimental XEPs are approved by the XEP Authors themselves.
If the PR touches multiple XEPs and the XEP Authors do not overlap, ask
the Author to split the PR.
1. If the PR does not a revision block, add the [Needs Version Block]
label.
2. If the PR adds a revision block and does not bump the minor-level
(second) version number part, add the [Needs Version Block] label and a
comment explaining the situation for the Processing Editor.
3. If the XEP is in Deferred state and the changes are not purely editorial,
add a note to move the XEP to Experimental state and mark the PR as
[Needs Editor Action].
4. If the issue has not been discussed on the standards list *or* if
the XEP Author has not been involved in the discussion *or* the
XEP Author has not explicitly ACKed the PR:
1. Make sure the standards@ discussion (if it exists) is linked in the
PR.
2. Add the [Needs Author] label.
3. Try to make the XEP Author aware of the change. If you do not know
a GitHub handle of the XEP Author, use the contact info available
for each author in either the XEP or in xep.ent.
4. Stop.
5. Otherwise, mark the PR as [Ready to Merge], linking the XEP Authors
approval for documentation purposes.
6. Mark the PR as [Ready to Merge].

<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p>There are two typical mechanisms to register an account on an XMPP server:</p>
<ul>
<li>Out-of-band account creation, after which the account JID and password
need to be manually entered into an XMPP client, and</li>
<li>&xep0077; (IBR) where an account is created and fully configured right
from the XMPP client.</li>
</ul>
<p>The IBR mechanism is much more convenient for users, but also opens up
the server to abuse, e.g. due to the mass-registration of spam bot
accounts. Captchas, while heavily impacting well-intentioned users, are
not a reliable mechanism to prevent abuse. This specification allows to
restrict the IBR mechanism by requiring a registration token, e.g. for
giving users access to a private server, without exposing their password
to the server administrator.</p>
<p>This specification is part of a series of documents aiming at improving
user onboarding:</p>
<ul>
<li>&xep0379; to automatically accept roster subscriptions based on a
token.</li>
<li>&xep0401; to generate tokens that can be used for authenticating IBR.</li>
</ul>
<p>While this specification is designed to work together with &xep0401;, it
can be used with invitation tokens obtained by any other mechanism. XMPP
URIs can then be used out-of-band to deliver the invitation to a new user.</p>
<p>A client that obtains such an XMPP URI should allow the user to register
an XMPP account with the server that generated the URI.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Use Cases'>
<p>A client that implements this specification needs to understand the
&xep0147; specification, to make use of the <tt>register</tt> query
action and the <tt>preauth</tt> parameter. Three URI formats
are defined.</p>
<section2 topic="Registration with pre-defined account name">
<p>An invitation to register an account can contain a specific XMPP
address (with a pre-defined user account name) to be registered. A
client should populate the address field in the IBR dialog with this
address and disallow changing the address.</p>
<code caption="Registration URI with pre-defined account name">xmpp:juliet@example.com?register;preauth=TOKEN</code>
</section2>
<section2 topic="Registration on a server">
<p>An invitation to register an account can contain just the server domain
to register on. A client should populate the address field in the IBR
dialog with this domain and allow entering the desired account name.</p>
<code caption="Registration URI without account name">xmpp:example.com?register;preauth=TOKEN</code>
</section2>
<section2 topic="Contact Invitation with IBR">
<p>A contact invitation with a registration token (&xep0379;) might
indicate that the token can also be used to register an account on that
server (<tt>ibr=y</tt>). If the receiving client already has an account
configured, it may skip account registration and simply add the contact
as defined in <cite>XEP-0379</cite>. The client may also register a new
account on the domain of the proposed contact, allowing the user to
enter the desired account name.</p>
<code caption="Contact URI with Pre-Authenticated IBR support">xmpp:romeo@example.com?roster;preauth=TOKEN;ibr=y</code>
</section2>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Discovery' anchor='discover'>
<p>While a registration URI is an indication that the respective server
supports Pre-Authenticated IBR, a URI might be manipulated and is not
guaranteed to be reliable.</p>
<p>Therefore, when performing the account creation, the client needs to
ensure that the server supports the Pre-Authenticated IBR protocol, as denoted by
the <strong>&lt;register xmlns='urn:xmpp:invite'></strong>
stream feature:</p>
<example caption="Stream features of a server that accepts invitations"><![CDATA[
<stream:features>
<mechanisms xmlns='urn:xmpp:sasl:0'>
<mechanism>EXTERNAL</mechanism>
<mechanism>SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS</mechanism>
<mechanism>SCRAM-SHA-1</mechanism>
<mechanism>PLAIN</mechanism>
</mechanisms>
<register xmlns='urn:xmpp:invite'/>
<register xmlns='http://jabber.org/features/iq-register'/>
</stream:features>
]]></example>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Pre-Authenticated In-Band Registration' anchor='preauth-ibr'>
<p>In order to allow invited users to register on a server, the
registration processs as defined in &xep0077; needs to be extended. The
invited user's client needs to connect to the server and check that the
invitation stream feature
(<strong>&lt;register xmlns='urn:xmpp:invite'></strong>) is present.
After that, the client initiates the registration flow by sending the
preauth token to the server:</p>
<example caption="Client initiates pre-authenticated IBR"><![CDATA[
<iq type='set' to='example.com' id='pa1'>
<preauth xmlns='urn:xmpp:pars:0' token='TOKEN' />
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>Upon receiving the preauth request, the server must validate that the
token is acceptable for account registration. However, single-use tokens
MUST NOT be considered used until the actual registration has succeeded.
</p>
<p>In addition, if the token has an expiration time, it MUST only be
checked at this point. Subsequent actions performed by the client during
the current session that require a valid token MUST NOT be rejected due
to token expiry.
</p>
<p>If the token is acceptable, the server responds with success, and
indicates the client may now proceed with account registration:
</p>
<example caption="Server accepts invitation token"><![CDATA[
<iq type='result' from='example.com' id='pa1' />
]]></example>
<p>If the token provided by the client was unknown, invalid or expired, the
server should return an appropriate error to the client:</p>
<example caption="Server rejects invitation token"><![CDATA[
<iq type="error" from="example.com" id="pa1">
<error type='cancel'>
<item-not-found xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
<text>The provided token is invalid or expired</text>
</error>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>In the success case, the client proceeds with registration as defined in
&xep0077;. If the token is rejected by the server, the client still MAY
attempt to perform IBR if the server allows that.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Business Rules' anchor='rules'>
<p>If a username was specified when creating an invitation token, the
server SHOULD NOT create an account on the server until the invitee
actually registers it with the corresponding token.
The server MUST reserve the username at least until the corresponding
token expires.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Implementation Notes' anchor='impl'>
<section2 topic='XMPP Server Suggestion for Invitees'>
<p>If the invitee opens an invitation URI with <strong>ibr=y</strong> and
chooses to create a new account, the client SHOULD pre-fill the
inviter JID's domain part as the new account's domain. The client MAY
provide a mechanism to enter or choose a different server, though.</p>

<p>It is expected that clients will not send message corrections to clients that do not support them, as non-supporting clients will render these as duplicate (corrected) messages. There may be environments (particularly within a &xep0045; MUC room) where it is unknown whether some or all recipients support this extension, and implementors could choose to allow or disallow sending in such cases, as is appropriate for the intended deployments. It is suggested that when the support of recipients is not known a sending client will make the user aware of the potential for duplicate messages to be interpreted by the recipients.</p>
<p>Message corrections sent to clients that do not support them will be rendered as duplicate (corrected) messages. In most Instant Messaging environments (particularly within a &xep0045; room, but also with a recipient having multiple clients using &xep0280; and &xep0313;) it is unknown whether some or all receiving devices support this extension. It is suggested that a client should always allow sending corrections, but may make the user aware of the potential for duplicate messages to be interpreted by the recipients.

<p>When a user indicates to the client that he wants to correct the most recently sent message to a contact, the client will resend the corrected message with a new id, and with the replace payload refering to the previous message by id. The receiving client then treats the newly received payloads as completely replacing all payloads of the original message.</p>

Some use cases require the originating entity, e.g. a client, to generate the stanza ID. In this case, the client MUST use the &origin-id; element extension element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:sid:0' namespace. Note that originating entities often want to conceal their XMPP address and therefore the &origin-id; element has no 'by' attribute.

<li>The invitee MAY send a response to the inviter, indicating if the invitation was accepted or declined.</li>
</ol>
<p>
The first step is for the inviter to request an invitation from the channel. The invitation contains inviter, invitee and a token. The channel will evaluate if the inviter has rights to issue the invitation. This will be because the inviter is a channel administrator or if the inviter is a channel participant and the channel allows invitation by participants. If the inviter has rights to make the invitation, the channel will return a token. The token is a string that the channel can subsequently use to validate an invitation. The format of the token is not specified in this standard. The encoded token MAY reflect a validity time. The invitation request is encoded as an &lt;invite/&gt; child element of an &lt;iq/&gt; element. The &lt;invite/&gt; element is qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:mix:misc:0' namespace. &lt;invite/&gt; contains an &lt;invitation/&gt; child element, which contain &lt;inviter/&gt;, &lt;invitee/&gt;, &lt;channel/&gt; and &lt;token/&gt; child elements.
The first step is for the inviter to request an invitation from the channel. The invitation contains inviter, invitee and a token. The channel will evaluate if the inviter has rights to issue the invitation. This will be because the inviter is a channel administrator or if the inviter is a channel participant and the channel allows invitation by participants. If the inviter has rights to make the invitation, the channel will return a token. The token is a string that the channel can subsequently use to validate an invitation. The format of the token is not specified in this standard. The encoded token MAY reflect a validity time. The invitation request is encoded as an &lt;invite/&gt; child element of an &lt;iq/&gt; element. The &lt;invite/&gt; element is qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:mix:misc:0' namespace. &lt;invite/&gt; contains an &lt;invitation/&gt; child element, which contains &lt;inviter/&gt;, &lt;invitee/&gt;, &lt;channel/&gt; and &lt;token/&gt; child elements.

<p>The invitation can now be used by the invitee to join a channel. The &lt;invitation/&gt; child element is simply added to the standard channel &lt;join/&gt; element, so that the channel can validate the invitation using the token. If the allowed node is present and the invitee is not matched against any item, the channel MUST add the invitee to the allowed node as part of the join.</p>
