[dix] BOF wrap up

[John Merrells <merrells at sxip.com>]

I'm still working on the notes from the meeting, but
you can see the jabber log of the BOF here:

2006-03-21.html

Some consensus questions were asked of the audience,
and there was some general agreement about some things
in the debate. In summary I believe they were:

- There is a real problem here and a debate around that should be  
held in the IETF.
- Clearly more formal requirements and use cases need to be worked on.
- To quote Lisa: Something is 'gelling' around user identifiers,  
perhaps as a URL.
- We should reuse existing technology where appropriate.

Next steps...

- We should put effort into a clearer problem definition, some  
compelling use cases,
and perhaps some detailed requirements. Email me if you're willing to  
commit
effort to that.

- A further investigation of existing technology.  In particular Bob  
and Jeff's comments
around SAML/Liberty/Shib was of interest to many.

Is the list in rough agreement of these next steps? Are there other  
actions the
group members think that we should take?

John
