I have a general concern around the amount of chatter in this RTF vs
actual work being performed. It's quite frustrating to produce a
document for the benefit of the group to have it swept aside as
yesterday's news.
I have been absent from this list for some months. CRI appears to be
based on/inspired by a consent token protocol I noodled in May of this
year:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.asrg/3303
The current CRI protocol has moved away from binding tokens into email
addresses and message IDs apparently on the grounds of mail header
length limits. However cursory scanning of the archives didn't reveal
identified cases where header length limits would be a problem, or a
clear assertion of why a consent token might need to be long/complex
enough to exceed RFC 2822 header lengths. Was there a substantial
reason for moving to an abstract MIME type?
More significantly to my mind CRI clouds the distinction between consent
determination/maintenance and challenge/response (C/R is one method of
obtaining consent, but by no means need be the only one). Was there a
substantial reason for narrowing the problem specification explicitly to
C/R from the more general question of consent definition and
manipulation?
I will have some free cycles in the new year. If there is interest I'm
willing to move my prior noodles into draft form as well as to assist in
producing a TMDA patch which implements the protocol as a
sample/reference implementation (note that TMDA is a mail filter which
may be used for C/R and which implements a C/R system as a default
case).
