Re: [Geopriv] GEOPRIV minutes from IETF 76

4. HELD Identity Extensions
draft-ietf-geopriv-held-identity-extensions
Martin Thomson presented an update on this document. The primary open
issues are around how authentication and authorization are applied.
Cullen Jennings expressed concern that current text on authenticating
ownership of identifiers is not implementable. The authors agreed to
restrict usage to limited cases with pre-configured authorization
relationships, except possibly for some cases the document can provide
clear, implementable guidance.

[AJW] Absolutely NOT TRUE! I voiced a very strong protest to this in the jabber room. I agree to this ONLY for the identifiers that cannot have an explicitly verifiable link back to the Target IP address. I have provided one very good example of where this is the case. I will look at the others and see if there are similar scenarios. But please, the comment above about the author's agreeing is false and what is stated was not the outcome.

Cheers
James
