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.
+1I expected the (pre-)I-D that John sent around to map out the lay of the land in the identity world, explain the gaps left by existing identity technologies, and define how the work product of a DIX WG would help to solve problems that cannnot be solved today. Did I miss that text?
