Re: [OAUTH-WG] Dynamic Client Registration

[William Mills <[e-mail]>]

Yeah, SCIM as a way to federate and distribute info like this seems sane, with extensions for the data items we need here.  The hard part is still around the security stuff which they have not dealt with yet, and that's going to be a blocker until it's solved.  Authority to update elemnts or namespaces is going to be needed, and that's a hard problem.
