Re: [Txauth] Name criteria

Works for me.

Revised criteria:

Required:

   1. No confusion with another protocol, major software project, or
   IETF/IRTF WG name
   2. no existing registered trademarks in related classes
   3. Less than 1M results in Google
   4. Descriptive of protocol (this criteria is subjective)
   5. Not offensive to a member of the mail list.

Desirable:

   1. Straightforward to pronounce
   2. Easy to spell
   3. Easy to read
   4. Shortish
