I believe one of the area directors asked who’s going to implement
these attestation schemes we standardize. One answer is Qualcomm’s
already commercialized precursor implementation of EAT which is
described very briefly in official marketing material on Qualcomm’s
web site as “Hardware Token”.

I see this as evidence:
 1) the market doesn't need/want a standard
 2) Qualcomm isn't going to implement our standard, they already have their own.

Now that could be trivially be refuted if we saw clear participation from
qualcomm, but I haven't seen it yet.  But, maybe I missed it.

OK, so I'll bite on this... in two separate capacities: one based on my employer and the second as Chair of the Trusted Platform Services Committee at GlobalPlatform.

You'll notice that all four names on the EAT draft are or were Qualcomm employees. EAT is definitely of interest to us.

EAT is under serious consideration as the basis of an attestation format for GlobalPlatform Secure Components (i.e. TEE and Secure Element). We see benefit in having the IETF standardise the more generic aspects of an attestation format around EAT with the GlobalPlatform specifics being addressed by GlobalPlatform.

I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with the arcana of chartering at IETF, so much recent discussion has perhaps not registered with me as strongly as it could have.
