[Tm-rid] We need to update the TMRID charter

["Eric Vyncke (evyncke)" <[e-mail]>]

Let’s update the TMRID charter to fix the discussions done internally by the IESG and IAB. I have modified the text (see below), but there are still a couple of comments to be fixed. Suggestions are urgently welcome

  *   The “based on HIP” in “primarily leverage solutions based on HIP” seems pre-mature, the WG needs a document/work item to justify the choice of HIP (or possibly a liaison statement ?)
  *   Barry Leiba’s public comments should be acted upon (it is mostly editorial comments)
  *   I have already addressed the in-line expansion of acronyms (my suggestion to use foot notes was not well received by the IESG/IAB)

The above should really be fixed before Thursday 6th of February IESG telechat. **Suggestions are really welcome within 24 hours**

Magnus’ BLOCK is critical to be fixed. Unsure that the WG will manage to fix this part before tomorrow but we can give it a try. For example, on listing the work items for this WG ? This would limit the scope.
Updated charter below:

“CAAs (Civil Aviation Authorities) worldwide have initiated rule making for UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) RID (Remote Identification). CAAs currently promulgate performance-based regulations that do not mandate specific techniques, but rather cite industry-consensus technical standards as acceptable means of compliance. One key standard is ASTM (formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials) WK65041 [1].  Network RID defines a set of information for UAS to make available globally indirectly via the Internet. Broadcast RID defines a set of messages for UA (Unmanned Aircraft) to send locally directly one-way over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. WK65041 addresses how to neither populate/query registries, ensure trustworthiness of information nor make it instantly useful.
TMRID’s goal is to make RID immediately actionable, in both Internet and local-only connected scenarios, especially emergencies, in severely constrained UAS environments [2], balancing legitimate (e.g. public safety) authorities’ need to know trustworthy information with UAS operators’ privacy.

The  working group will primarily leverage solutions based on HIP as well as the domain name registration and focused on NPRM (Notice of Proposed Rule-Making) [3] published by US FAA (United States Federal Aviation Administration) as well as European CAA.
