[Wimse] Re: Token Exchange and Translation Protocol

["Flemming Andreasen (fandreas)" <[e-mail]>]

We have a charter item corresponding to this document and I don't see any other candidate documents at this time, so I vote for A.

The document is pretty rough though and mostly introduces some of the problems to consider. Additionally, the document would benefit from the following:
- More work on the requirements to feed into this document (per separate e-mail thread on requirements)
- A set of representative use case scenarios to illustrate what we are after. This is especially important for the "token translation" scenarios.
- Clarity on whether we aim to use (/profile) RFC 8693 for "token translation" or whether that is only for "token exchange"
- Clarity on which token formats we want to be able to translate/exchange. While the document notes that these will be provided as "translation profiles", we shold understand the target ones early on, and develop at least some of them in parallel with the basic translation/exchange protocol.

Cheers

Following discussion in Vancouver, the chairs would like to begin discussion on what the next steps should be for the Token Exchange and Translation Protocol document [1], an output of the Token Exchange Design Team. This is not a call for adoption as there was a clear indication in the room that the document was not yet ready for this stage.

Please reply to the list to indicate that:

A: You believe this document should be developed into a state that the WG can adopt it. (Please discuss what you believe would be required changes for this. Please keep in mind that a call for adoption is a starting point for a document, not a finished document.)

B: You believe this document should NOT be developed further by the WG. (Please indicate why if possible)

C: You need more information before making this decision. (Please indicate what information you’d need)

D: You don’t give a flying rat about this document (i.e., this is not a topic you care strongly about)


Please reply to the list by August 12th, 2024.
