It was discussed on the dix and http-auth lists and at the WAE BOF. My perception of the room at WAE was that with the exception of the requirement about mutual authentication this was relatively non-controversial and that going forward with such a document would be useful. Now, we may actually be saying the same thing. I think this document has received review similar to other IETF informational documents. There's a lot of open question about what the status of such documents is; absent evidence such as an IESG note I assume such documents have rough consensus of the IETF. Others may not read things that way or may assume a different level of support behind informational documents for which we do an IETF last call. Ultimately though the issue of adequacy of review rests with Lisa and the IESG. I'm obviously recused from formal participation in that process.

I'm not asking for treatment any different than any other AD-sponsored informational document. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
