Re: [Emu] EMU charter revision,



In re-reading this charter, I still don't think we're quite there:
 
a.  Why is there still a charter item for EAP-TLS?  This work has
been completed, no?
 
b. Attempting to extend EAP-TLS to support tunneling or channel bindings
is not appropriate. EAP-TLS already widely deployed, with large investments
in conformance tests.  Given the number of existing TLS-based tunneling protocols,
such a work item would serve no useful purpose.  Let's focus on adding
channel binding support to tunnel methods.
 
c. To some extent, I agree with Dan and Yoav with respect to the
need for password-based methods.  Had such methods been available
earlier, it's questionable whether TLS tunneling would have taken
off to the extent that it has.  Also, I think that such methods, if specified
in the IETF, would be likely to be widely deployed.  However, on the other
hand I think that this is really an issue for the entire security area, not
just for EMU.  So I'd suggest that this issue be brought up in SAAG.
 
=====================================================================
Below is a revision to the EMU charter that is intended to reflect the
discussions in the Philadelphia meeting.  Please respond to the list if
you approve of the charter or if you have any comments on the charter.
I would like to have responses by 4/24.
 
Thanks,
Joe
