I don’t completely
agree with 6.3.5 and 7. I feel like some of the interfaces such as the one
between the server broker and server plugins should not be out of scope of
this WG…this is an important interface for end-to-end interoperability and
should be left within the scope of standardization
[Susan] You refer to the interface
between the "server broker and server plugin". Do you mean the interface
between server broker and posture server, or something
else?
I think there are two
separate questions here: 1) whether these interfaces are
candidates for standardization, and 2) whether the IETF
is the place to do the standardization. For the purposes of this
discussion, we are obviously interested in 2). To the extent these
interfaces are APIs, this likely does not fall within the IETF. To the
extent the interfaces are protocols (and this is the case where posture
server is not co-located), then this is a candidate for
standardization, although this may still be pushing the boundaries of
what the IETF has traditionally been involved in. This is something that
needs to be discussed further.
Thanks
Susan
