Adam,

We have more than enough on our plate with the specification / I-D work.  Let's see if we can deal with this in a more appropriate forum. I do not see this as that forum.  My 2cents…

Thanks.

Subject: [scap_interest] Operational Aspects

While we're all bantering about on security automation, there's another side to the story.  Are there any operational concerns we might address within a WG should one be formed?  For example, we have, in the United States, NVD hosting a repository of information.  CCE identifiers are moderated and assigned by an operational process.  As new enumerations are published and new types of content are conceived, it's easy to imagine the need for some operational standardization.

Should we consider standardizing some of these processes, and if so would the WG we seek to establish be the appropriate place for that work?

Regards,
