Re: [OAUTH-WG] OAuth Milestone Update and Rechartering

[Brian Campbell <[e-mail]>]

I would object to 'OAuth Authentication' being picked up by the WG as a
work item. The starting point draft has expired and it hasn't really been
discusses since Berlin nearly a year ago.  As I recall, there was only very
limited interest in it even then. I also don't believe it fits well with
the WG charter.

I would suggest the WG consider picking up 'OAuth Symmetric Proof of
Possession for Code Extension' for which there is an excellent starting
point of http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sakimura-oauth-tcse-03 - it's a
relativity simple security enhancement which addresses problems currently
being encountered in deployments of native clients.
