Re: [apps-discuss] Revised webfinger draft (-02)

This clearly does not belong in the Security area or the OAuth working group.

I would strongly warn that moving this effort into any WG requires very careful work on the charter as historically there has been very little consensus and success in agreeing on what problems we are trying to solve. RFC 6415 was the end of a 5+ years process across multiple standard bodies including the IETF, W3C, OASIS, and the OpenID Foundation. This has proved a really hard problem to *define*.

Having talked with Barry now, an amended question:

Would this work better fit in another working group like OAuth (which has its own interest and concerns in webfinger), or perhaps in its own working group?  It may well be that it's too big to fit in APPSAWG's charter for smaller work items.

To the working group,

This has been hovering outside APPSAWG for two meetings now.  Is APPSAWG the right place to process it?  That is, should we bring it in as a working group document?  Or would it be better done through the ISE, or perhaps in some other working group?

Folks,

I published a revised version of the Webfinger specification based on feedback I've received so far that seems to  have general agreement.  As requested, I added a change log at the end of the document that I hope will help.  The draft is here:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jones-appsawg-webfinger-02

The "diff" tool on that page allows you to quickly see exactly what changed.
