[Rats] Proposed Changes to the CoRIM Document

[Yogesh Deshpande <[e-mail]>]

Hello RATS Chairs,

CoRIM authors have completed the two-week timeline of waiting for any response to the below thread.

As we have not received any objections to our proposal, we request chairs to
approve the CoRIM document split without having to go through the adoption step.

Thanks again for your cooperation.

Best Regards,
CoRIM Authors

Subject: Proposed Changes to the CoRIM Document


Hello RATS WG,

Over the last six months, community members, our document shepherd, and IETF Directorate reviewers have provided valuable feedback on the CoRIM document.

At the outset, we'd like to thank everyone who took the time to provide comments. We understand that this is precious time.

One general theme among many comments was that the document was too long, which made it difficult for reviewers and implementers to consume.

To improve readability and facilitate implementation based on the specification, the authors/editors propose splitting the CoRIM document into two documents, as follows:

1. CoRIM data model: This document will define the information and data model required to construct CoRIM messages (sections 1-7 of the existing document).

2. CoRIM based appraisal: This document will describe the appraisal of Evidence using Endorsements and Reference Values encoded using the CoRIM data model (sections 8 and 9 of the existing document).

Please note that these two specifications will progress in lockstep and will be released as RFCs within the same timeframe.

If you have any objections to this approach, please let us know.

If the WG does not push back on the proposed approach, we would like to request the Chairs to approve the split without having to go through the adoption step.

Thank you,
CoRIM editors
