On this note ...

I haven't seen a lot of discussion so far why the IETF needs to get into identity standards. How does this group answer the question: it's not like we don't have a plethora of widely implemented identity and related standards already, why do we need another?

I'd think that question needs to be answered crisply and convincingly in the charter.

Personally, I can believe that there is some hitherto uncharted territory in identity land that the IETF could do something about, but I would also think that that territory needs to be marked in relationship to other territories by other initiatives, preferably with very little to zero overlap. I'd recommend that be done from the get-go, because otherwise dix just sets itself up for sniping.

Cheers,



Johannes.

We should add to the 'In Scope' section:

This working group shall include in it's output, informational material
which results from the assessment of existing specifications, and
limitations or omissions which requires the production of additional
specification(s).

Which, I suppose, implies another deliverable.
