Re: New Non-WG Mailing List: unbearable

As a member of or sympathizer with various societies for bear
encouragement and preservation (black, brown, polar, Cub Scouts,
Teddy, Pooh, ... in no particular order), I find this name
really objectionable.  From the description, "unbearerable"
might have been better, "betterbearer" certainly would have been.

"unbearable" should be reserved for April 1 RFCs and similar
work efforts :-)

I wonder if anyone has ever appealed a mailing list name.

unbearably yours,

A new IETF non-working group email list has been created.

List address: unbearable(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org
Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/unbearable/
To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/unbearable

Purpose:

This list is for discussion of proposals for doing better than
bearer tokens (e.g. HTTP cookies, OAuth tokens etc.) for web
applications. The specific goal is chartering a WG focused on
preventing security token export and replay attacks.
