We’ve recently had a lot of good discussion about the nature and role of the AS within GNAP, and the editors stated that we would be working on new text to incorporate this discussion. With that in mind, I wanted to bring everyone’s attention to a PR that makes some big changes to the core spec, though mostly in the description of how components work and less with the normative syntax of the protocol itself.

https://github.com/ietf-wg-gnap/gnap-core-protocol/pull/242 <https://github.com/ietf-wg-gnap/gnap-core-protocol/pull/242>

This rewrites the section that is currently “Interaction at the AS” to better describe the wider range of possibilities for the authorization process. Note that this PR hasn’t been tagged as “pending merge” by the editors yet, which means there’s not a review deadline in place yet, but since it’s such a big change we’d like to get it in somewhat soon. Please go read through the new text and help improve it!

Thank you,
 — Justin
