Hannes,

in my opinion, OAuth should stay a token-format independent protocol. So intuitively, I would vote to work on this topic within another group. Otherwise people might get the impression that OAuth is directly tied to a certain token format.

regards,
Torsten.

Hi all,

Mike had posted a mail about version -01 of the JSON Web Token document:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/oauth/current/msg04912.html

The usage of JSON and security applied to it became crucial to the work in 
OAuth.
As we start our re-chartering it would be logical to add it to our charter as 
well.

While this is my first choice there may be resistance in doing so since we 
expand our charter quite a bit.
As a backup, I would therefore like to propose to (a) try to include it in the 
OAuth re-chartering and (b) at the same time request a BOF at the next IETF 
meeting.

Here is the charter writeup for the BOF:

Interestingly enough there are others in the IETF who also want to standardize 
JSON signing and encryption (but for other use cases). I am in contact with 
them and will try to combine our effort to reach the goal faster.

Your comments on the charter writeup are appreciated.

Ciao
Hannes
