The enclosed an outgrowth from the previous BOF. I have tried to fold
in some comments that were made about the draft circulated then,
although this is essentially a new draft. It tries to be very tightly
focused, have an aggressive schedule, and produce something of clear and
immediate utility.
Whether any of this is actually feasible will depend upon the resolve of
the working group participants to meet the schedule and make the
necessary compromises.
Looks like a good starting place for discussion.
I think we should make it clear in the charter which problem we are
solving, the authenticating the channel, or the message (or both). There
is also the question of scope and policy, i.e. how much we take on with
issues such as indicating whether or not an entity signs all messages,
for instance.
I also think we should deal with the IPR issue up front in the charter -
interoperability should be the driving point, so any solution should be
acceptable to open source licenses, IMO.
