Semantic conventions for HTTP communications are available, but they remain in an experimental state. Related to the general semantic conventions workgroup requested in #803, we would like to request an additional workgroup that exclusively focuses on bringing semantic conventions for HTTP into a stable state.

We plan to discuss the following areas and the results in an OTEP:

• Status codes and errors
• Url/components attribute sets
• Attributes, optional attributes
• Request/Response body capture
• Retries, redirects and hedging policies
• Context propagation
• WebSockets/Long-polling and streaming

The proposed times for this workgroup are Monday 8 AM PST, Tuesday 9 AM PST or Wednesday 9 AM PST.

For reference please see request for an Instrumentation SIG in #802, the request for a Semantic Convention workgroup in #803, and the request for Messaging Semantic Convention workgroup in #805.
