Alissa Cooper has entered the following ballot position for draft-ietf-paws-protocol-19: No Objection
When responding, please keep the subject line intact and reply to all email addresses included in the To and CC lines. (Feel free to cut this introductory paragraph, however.) Please refer to http://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/discuss-criteria.html for more information about IESG DISCUSS and COMMENT positions. The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-paws-protocol/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for all your work to address my DISCUSS! = Shepherd write-up= "An in-depth review by a JSON expert might be useful." Did that happen? = Section 1 = "It opens the door for innovations in spectrum management that can incorporate a variety of parameters, including user location and time. In the future, it also can include other parameters, such as user priority, time, signal type and power, spectrum supply and demand, payment or micro-auction bidding, and more." Time seems to be listed both as a current parameter and a future one, which is confusing. = Section 4.4 = "FCC rules, for example, require that a 'Fixed Device' register its owner and operator contact information, its device identifier, its location, and its antenna height." It would be nice to have a citation for the rules referenced here. = Section 5.1 = Feel free to ignore this if it's completely misguided, but does altitude really not matter? Are we sure this protocol won't be re-used for devices on airplanes trying to find available spectrum? (I note that in RFC 6953, requirement D.1 specifies that the data model must support "the height and its uncertainty" -- I have no idea what "the height" means or if it is related to altitude.) = Section 10 = I agree with Stephen that the database operator should be considered as a potential adversary from the standpoint of potentially being able to create a fine-grained database that tracks the locations and spectrum use patterns of individual devices. That data could certainly be abused. _______________________________________________ paws mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/paws
