hi all, good to meet you. adding $0.02 on naming as an outsider, using good, bad, ugly descriptors: * AAuthZ Alternative Authorization Protocol (AAuthZ) ugly, tough to pronounce and looks like a typo of AuthZ * AZARP AuthoriZed Access to Resources Protocol ugly, initialism doesn't imply function * AZARAP AuthoriZation And Resource Access Protocol ugly, initialism doesn't imply function * BeBAuthZ Back-end Based Authorization Protocol bad, "back-end" is way too broad * BYOAuthZ Build-Your-Own Authorization Protocol bad, "BYO" means "bring your own" to me * CPAAP Comprehensive Privileged Authentication Authorization Protocol ugly, unclear how to pronounce, looks close to "CRAAP" * DAZARAP Delegated AuthoriZation And Resource Access Protocol ugly, initialism doesn't imply function * DIYAuthZ Do-It-Yourself Authorization Protocol bad, DIY implies amateurish and backyard * GNAP Grant Negotiation and Authorization Protocol bad, initialism doesn't imply function * GranPro GRAnt Negotiation Protocol ugly, .+pro or has hints of proprietary * IDPAuthZ Intent Driven Protocol for Authorization ugly, IdP already means identity provider to lots of folks * NIRAD Negotiation of Intent Registration and Authority Delegation bad, expansion is too wordy and intent registration is unclear to external stakeholders * PAuthZ Protocol for Authorization bad, initialism does not imply function * RefAuthZ Refactored Authorization Protocol bad, "Ref" means reference to lots of folks as in you're trying to define the gold standard * ReAuthZ Reimagined Authorization Protocol ugly, implies that you might authorize _again_ * TIAAP Tokenized Identity and Access Protocol ugly, "tokenized" anything has charged meanings to technologists and non-technologists alike * TIDEAuth Trust via Intent Driven Extension Auth bad, i like "TIDEAuth" but Trust via Intent Driven Extension is just semantic soup * TIDYAuth Trust via Intent Driven Yield Auth bad, tidy implies small, driven yield means nothing to me * TIEAuth Trust via Intent Extension Auth good * TINOA This Is Not OAuth ugly * TXAuth Testable eXtensible Authorization good, except "Testable" doesn't sound like the main priority here? * TxAuth Transmission of Authority good * TXAuth Truly eXtensible Authorization good, not sure about "Truly" because we will no doubt encounter limits ourselves * XAuthZ eXtensible authoriZation protocol bad, best expanded form here, but XAuthZ is not aesthetic to me is there a reason we didn't call it TXAuth/TxAuth and have it stand for Transaction Authorization? either of those would be my first choice. i understand that the name picking period is over.
