Dear all, The DECADE working group has just been closed by your responsible Area Director. This may come as a surprise to some in the WG, but it should not be a surprise for the working drafts authors. The chairs have been notified in advance about this action. There has been significant feedback from the community that questioned the technical status of DECADE in the recent past. These concerns were not been taken up and were not addressed. The working group did made only small progress in the last six months, which was visible in the low amount of emails on the list, though there are a number of issues that should have been discussed. The WG chairs were explicitly notified in mid of June that there are severe issues and the WG had time to address those issues. However, it must have been obvious even before mid of June that there are severe issues, i.e., there has been sufficient time to fix it. Furthermore, the requirements and architecture draft were submitted to the IESG for publication and both drafts have been returned to the WG, as both are not ready to be published as RFC. You can find the AD review in the datatracker: - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-decade-reqs/history/ - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-decade-arch/history/ Both drafts do leave any number of key questions unanswered, i.e., they are far away from being technically useful to be the base for the next steps in the protocol development. To give 2 examples: 1) It is completely unclear how the resources on a DECADE server are supposed to be managed and how this management is mapped to the protocol split of SDT, DRP, and other management protocols. Parts of it, such as setting the permissions of data objects clearly belongs to the DRP, and it is sort of stated in a vague way in the architecture, but it is not documented in a comprehensive way. Other parts, such as the accounting is probably not part of the the DRP nor SDT, but there is supposedly another interface that is needed for this. 2) What is the model how data objects are handled on the server in the sense about who is allowed to do what? The drafts solely talk about tokens to be used to do access control. But there other aspects, for instance, who is controlling what on a DECADE server: The DECADE server can be operated by an ISP, but the content is provided by a content provider and it is access by an unlimited set of clients or limited set of clients. How is the access control divided between those parties? To conclude this email: The DECADE group started its work in end of April 2010 and is now working for more than 2 years on the milestones and drafts. The time isn't a big deal, but after 2 years I would have expected that the documents are on a good technical level where the WG can build on top of. Some of you probably ask how the remaining drafts are handled: First of all, they are not working groups drafts anymore. But you may resubmit those drafts as individual submissions, address the review received so far, e.g., Dave Crocker's, Carsten Bormann's, and the AD reviews. Ask for feedback again, if you have addressed the reviews in your updated drafts. If you believe that the drafts are solid work, with a base for further protocol development, you may consider to submit the drafts via the RFC editor's Independent Stream. The decisions to close the WG can be of course appealed via the IETF appeal process: See 'Appeals and PR-Actions' under http://www.ietf.org/iesg/ and RFC 2026.
