Re: [Txauth] WG name brainstorming - please participate!

[Dick Hardt <[e-mail]>]

Reminder of brainstorming. I'm thinking we will cut off brainstorming this

FYI: if you are interested in keeping the txauth name by creating a

A couple name suggestions:

TXAuth - Testable eXtensible Authorization

TXAuth - Truly eXtensible Authorization
