Issues to be discussed in APAC-friendly sync and regular WG call: please read up
by Eve Maler 05 Aug '15

05 Aug '15

There’s a lively discussion going on in the GitHub issues. If everyone attending these meetings (and even *not* able to attend them) can please read up on issues 153, 154, and 165 at a minimum, and think, research, and comment as they see fit, we will be much better prepared to take action on resolutions. If you want to read ahead, issue 160 is also sitting there waiting for you. :-) https://github.com/xmlgrrl/UMA-Specifications/issues Eve Eve Maler | cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl | Calendar: xmlgrrl(a)gmail.com

Mission-bashing in advance of the legal subgroup meeting this Friday
by Eve Maler 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

As mentioned on the last call, we’ve completed the planning for a sort of "next-gen" legal subgroup meeting series. The regular weekly meeting time starts this Friday, August 7, at 8-9am PT (check the UMA calendar <http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/Calendar> for your local listings, and let me know if you haven’t been added to the invite but would like to be). Dazza made a great suggestion to me offline. Now that the newly interested legal UMAnitarians have all gotten signed up and subscribed to this list*, it would be ideal to get ahead of the curve and use email to start discussing the draft mission statement that I sent out as part of the planning process, to try and get consensus on a final mission, scope out what can be achieved in the 2015 timeframe, and maybe paint a sample picture of what you think a (tiny) portion of the result might look like (without ratholing on actual arguments and solutions for now!). Based on our brief July 16 <http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/UMA+telecon+2015-07-16> WG discussion, I came up with this draft: Develop recommendations about resource owner-and-requesting party [Alice-and-Bob], resource server-and-authorization server [service-and-hub], and any other transactional relationships in the UMA environment, keeping in mind international jurisdictional friendliness; applicability to many different vertical and horizontal use cases, including health; and support of higher-level access federation trust frameworks and similar efforts. With no surrounding context from our May-July WG discussions, it may not make all that much sense, so that’s one bug. Useful context might include: Generalizing away from the current Binding Obs approach somehow, while ensuring the result helps those who want to build access federation trust frameworks Considering how various tools in a lawyer’s toolbox might impact and be impacted by UMA’s native structure, such as “transactions”, consent”, license”, contract”, and even “data protection” and “privacy” Tom S in the past pointed us to UETA <http://www.uniformlaws.org/shared/docs/electronic%20transactions/ueta_final…>, which we then referenced in the current Binding Obs draft (the link is old and broken, however) Tim R has mentioned the UCITA law <http://www.uniformlaws.org/Act.aspx?title=Computer%20Information%20Transact…> to me as being evocative Taking a use-case-oriented approach rather than necessarily solving for All The Parties, e.g.: We first discussed Alice-and-Bob use cases on May 28 <http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/UMA+telecon+2015-05-28>, with Kantara Consent Receipt liaison implications Adrian brought the service-and-hub use case to the table to achieve particular “liability shift” goals in a patient-centric health setting Clear as mud? :-) I hope this gives a feel for the “pain” and the opportunity. Thanks, everyone. Eve *Note: The intent is to conduct all subgroup work on this list so that it’s archived, there’s no question about who has seen what, and everyone can follow along. Our list gets little enough traffic that I hope this won’t be a problem for anyone. Eve Maler | cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl | Calendar: xmlgrrl(a)gmail.com

I meant to highlight this in one of our calls — though it did make it to the Kantara blog... Our esteemed colleague and vice-chair, Dr. Maciej Machulak, is also the recent recipient of a very cool award from the MIT Technology Review: Innovators Under 35 Poland! http://www.innovatorsunder35.com/innovators-under-35-poland (Notice how he snuck the UMA logo in there? :-) Read more here: http://www.innovatorsunder35.com/innovator/maciej-machulak And check out these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZK1kbOj6Q4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7cirEdFfZg We’re proud to know and work with you!

Results of issue nominations - still some preparation for us to do before next week
by Eve Maler 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Thanks to everyone for a very productive issue nomination session. I’ve done a bit of consolidation in the spreadsheet <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s27E3JsHdvl_UzhGkQ8ZWP2dnyAXQAj5sxE…> that we were working on, and labeled the issues in GitHub <https://github.com/xmlgrrl/UMA-Specifications/issues> with “blocking”, “critical”, and “editorial” labels, and put everything we discussed under a “V1.0.1” milestone for now — we’ll see if we get to them all. I didn’t label the issues with the impact or breaking/non-breaking nature, because these are qualitative assessments that are mostly useful for prioritizing the order in which should tackle the issues. But I did use them to derive an order of attack (which was kind of fun to do…). I haven’t yet put assignments in GitHub, and therein lies the rub: We don’t yet have official champions on several key issues. Here’s a screenshot of the relevant snippet to give you an idea of what we’re up against. In order for us to fully discuss (and resolve??) issues 165, 153, 154, and possibly 160 on August 7, would the champion be Justin since he’s the one most wanting to change the status quo? (As agreed earlier, we don’t need to see perfect full spec text, but I think we’re ready to consider fairly mature proposals; we’ve gotten our heads around alternative options.) [a bit more below] (As an aside, for Maciej, I’m not sure if we’ll manage to transfer the repo to Kantara before we manage to get through this patch release, and I wonder if we should even try. I’d hate to lose the issue metadata, especially what I just put in. :-) Eve Maler | cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl | Calendar: xmlgrrl(a)gmail.com

All others are to be given last priority, if we have time. For any issues without champions that need them, we should seek champions for issues in this order. Already-identified champions should prepare options, discussion points, or proposed solutions as warranted for the next calls in priority order.
