Subject: [Geopriv] HELD identity: mechanism

I've submitted a minor update to the held identity draft:

<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-winterbottom-geopriv-held-identity-extensions-08>

This revision addresses (I hope) the lone comment from Marc that some of the use case text was lost in the previous edit.

Based on the feedback at the meeting, I think that the objections about whether this is something that could/should be done have been addressed.  In general, my impression was that there was consensus that a mechanism similar to the one described was necessary.  I also believe that the privacy/security text is now considered adequate.

I did, however, get the distinct impression that there were objections to the specific mechanism described.  That's understandable.  The mechanism as documented is not one that the authors are especially attached to; as it stands, the mechanism is nothing more than a means to an ends.  There's obviously a fair bit of room for improvement.

What I'd like to solicit now is feedback on the mechanism.  In particular, how the protocol will represent the identifiers that it is interested in.

If you have a specific objection to the current mechanism or an aspect of it and can articulate the reasons for that objection, please share your thoughts.

Better still, if you have a suggestion for improving the mechanism, please share your thoughts.

Cheers,
Martin
