Authorization for AAA and RADIUS work items

[Bernard Aboba <aboba@internaut.com>]

In order to make sure that AAA-related WGs stay in sync with other WGs and
SDOs, there is a requirement that AAA-related work items be authorized by
a requirements document.

Here are some of the AAA requirements documents that have been approved
for publication as RFCs:

draft-ietf-sipping-aaa-req-04.txt
RFC 3141
RFC 2989
RFC 2977
RFC 2881
RFC 2477

Nowhere in these documents is there any mention of AAA requirements for
signaled QoS.

In the NSIS requirements document (draft-ietf-nsis-req-09.txt) there is a
requirement 5.9.4 that mentions AAA:

"The NSIS SHOULD be developed with respect to be able to collect
usage records from one or more network elements. "

However this seems to only relate to accounting, not authentication and
authorized of signaled QoS.

It would therefore appear to me that use of AAA for signaled QoS has not
been authorized by a requirements document, and therefore cannot become a
RADEXT (or even AAA) WG work item.
