I think it makes perfect sense to have different spects for different use cases to solve different requirements (and the requirements *are* different -- you keep bringing up fully stateless registration and that's just not a requirement for many people). The different specs can (and should) use common parameters and data models where it makes sense, and differ where it makes sense. You know, just like we did with the OAuth flows. There's a reason that the Client Credentials flow doesn't use the authorization endpoint, but the Code flow does. And there's also a reason why the "grant_type" parameter is an explicit extension point in OAuth.

The as-of-yet-completely-unspecified-and-unimplemented software assertions based "spec" can re-use the client model from the current dyn-reg, if it wants to and it makes sense to. It can use the same parameter names. Nobody's saying not to do that, Tony. But in addition to the responders who have implemented Dyn-Reg as it is, I'd like to hear from people who have implemented the stateless proposal as well. Anyone?

respond to the implementation status, once again people should post if they:

1. have implemented this as is
2. plan on implementing as is
3. what use case they are solving
4. what modifications needed on top of this specification to actually solve use 
case

Except that folks are already actually implementing and using the spec, and 
that all of the discussions around different specs are pretty clearly pointing 
to different use cases and assumptions about the state of the world.

Your arguments are invalid.

I see no reason to continue to push finish the current specification when there 
are so many discussions/issues going on as discussions will only lead to better 
specifications that folks can actually implement and use.

Except for the cases where you want step 1 to happen in band. To me, that is a vitally and 
fundamentally important use case that we can't disregard, and we must have a solution that can 
accommodate that. The notions of "publisher" and "product" fade very quickly 
once you get outside of the software vendor world.

This is, of course, not to stand in the way of other solutions or approaches 
(such as something assertion based like you're after). It's not a 
one-or-the-other proposition, especially when there are mutually exclusive 
aspects of each.

Therefore I once again call for the WG to finish the current dynamic 
registration spec *AND* pursue the assertion based process that Phil's talking 
about. They're not mutually exclusive, let's please stop talking about them 
like they are.

Sorry. I meant also to say i think there are 2 registration steps.

1. Software registration/approval. This often happens out of band. But in this 
step policy is defined that approves software for use. Many of the reg params 
are known here.

Federation techniques come into play as trust approvals can be based on 
developer, product or even publisher.

2. Each instance associates in a stateless way. Only clients that need 
credential rotation need more.

I have a conflict I cannot get out of for 2pacific.

I think a certificate based approach is going to simplify exchanges in all 
cases. I encourage the group to explore the concept on the call.

I am not sure breaking dyn reg up helps. It creates yet another option. I would 
like to explore how federation concept in software statements can help with 
facilitating association and making many reg stateless.

Here are the conference bridge / Webex details for the call today.
We are going to complete the use case discussions from last time
(Phil wasn't able to walk through all slides). Justin was also able
to work out a strawman proposal based on the discussions last week
and we will have a look at it to see whether this is a suitable
compromise. Here is Justin's mail, in case you have missed it:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/oauth/current/msg12036.html

Phil, please feel free to make adjustments to your slides given the Justin's 
recent proposal.
