Re: Tentative OPES Agenda for IETF 53

Hi,

quick comment on the "Personalization" discussion started by Paul's 
email below: The WG is NOT addressing or designing specific 
applications as work items. As such, the design and specification of a 
"Personalization Service" is NOT in scope. However, as the WG 
addresses the work items outlined in the charter, it will consider the 
requirements and needs of different application areas, with 
"Personalization Services" possibly being one out of many. The group 
will then discuss whether or not OPES can/should meet these specific 
requirements, and how they impact the various work items on the OPES 
charter.
As such, discussions on "Personalization Services" and other 
application areas should be centered around (a) a concrete and 
specific application example, (b) how this application might impact or 
change a high-level OPES architecture (or not), and (c) how this might 
impact the specific work items on the charter (e.g. callout/tracing 
protocol, endpoint authorization, threat model, etc.) The outcome of 
such discussions would serve as input for the WG documents as outlined 
in the charter, but NOT in separate, application-specific documents. 
Hilarie's previous email on how "personalization" will/will not impact 
the architecture might be a good starting point for such a discussion.
