Public Comment period

Public Comment/IPR Review period concludes on July 12 – please report any comments you have during this period.

Do we have any other comments coming from the "outside" through the officially published channel? Colin reports that no such comments have been received. An email reminder was sent out a few days ago, and more are coming.

Eve will start a social media campaign from the UMAWG handle today, through July 12. Please RT etc.

CIS trip report

Eve, Colin, Maciej, Mike, Justin, and others were there. The "Authorization: Age of UMA" approach communicated the Alice-to-Bob (Tony-to-Pepper) approach really thoroughly and seemed to have the right light touch that late in the conference. Maciej could testify that his wife, who was present, finally understood UMA for the first time after eight years! There were ways it didn't go into as much depth. But "CIS Twitter" did seem to appreciate it as a teaching device.

Colin notes that Kantara overall ended up having a "community area" near its booth, with ID.me, Gluu, etc. The pre-conference workshop went well. A very "agile" no-screenscraping pledge effort was put together; don't forget to go and sign up! IDpro.org is spreading its wings. Eve notes the Women in Identity effort and the corresponding #ZZAuth song. 

At CIS, Eve made announcements about interest in interop testing and asked for people to contact her with interest in providing funding and other resources.

UMA 2.0 work

#332: Justin's article says succinctly: "If the authorization server chooses, the claims represented by the PCT can fulfill the policies set by the resource owner." But the closest we get in actually saying this directly, after building up a story in bits and bites, is in Grant Sec 3.3.4 in a Note where we say "Note: Claims and other information gathered during one authorization process may become out of date in terms of their relevance for future authorization processes. The authorization server is responsible for managing such relevance wherever information associated with a PCT, or other persistently stored information, is used as input to authorization, including policy conditions themselves." Can't we do better, from the beginning definition and throughout? It's not enough to say "optimizing" in the beginning without saying what that means and how it's accomplished. Mike notes that in Sec 3.3.3, "Such persisted claims will be represented by a PCT issued to the client in a subsequent step", the "will" part isn't strictly true if the client doesn't provide the PCT in the request.

There are a few challenges: The PCT discussion is spread out, and it's too oblique.

Mike notes that the example of redirect_user with a custom URI with a query parameter was helpful, and suggests extending the normative language describing it in Grant Sec 3.3.6 would be good. E.g.: "Providing a value in this response might be appropriate, for example, if the URI needs to be customized per requesting party with a query parameter."

AI: Eve: Add issue; look up the URI/reference/etc language to get this right.

Leadership team elections

MOTION: Re-elect Eve Maler as WG chair for an annual term, Maciej Machulak as WG vice-chair for an annual term, Domenico Catalano as Graphics and User Experience Editor for an indefinite term, and Maciej Machulak as Implementations Coordinator for an indefinite term. APPROVED by unanimous consent.

Meeting schedule and preparing for All-Member Ballot

Let's not meet on July 6. Let's try to meet on July 12 and see if we can make quorum to approve our Recommendations, ideally already edited if we get no huge substantive/troubling comments, so they can proceed to the Leadership Council for approval on July 19 (or in an electron ballot) to proceed.

Interop testing plans

ForgeRock will ship a platform release with UMA2 support in approximately October. Gluu should ready by then too. We should reach out to the KeyCloak guys around then.
