On December 4, 2009, a "Last Look" at the RADIUS
Design Guidelines document was announced: http://ops.ietf.org/lists/radiusext/2009/msg00661.html While the "last look" was to have concluded on
December 18, 2009, vigorous discussion continued well into January 2010. This message represents a summary of the "last
look", and a proposal for how to move forward. First of all, examination of the "Last Look"
discussion indicates that the document as it stands does not represent
RADEXT WG consensus and therefore will require changes. The major areas of concern include: 1. Treatment of complex attributes. These
concerns were raised in Issue 325 and relate to Section 2.1.3 and portions of
Appendix A. Proposals to move forward are included in the following
messages sent to the list: a.
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/radiusext/2010/msg00038.html b.
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/radiusext/2010/msg00080.html c.
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/radiusext/2010/msg00107.html 2. Applicability. These concerns have been
raised in Issue 327, and relate to multiple sections in the document. Suggestions
on how to move forward have been made by Dan Romascanu in the following
message: http://ops.ietf.org/lists/radiusext/2010/msg00075.html It is our hope that discussions on the mailing list will
result in proposed text addressing the concerns within the next week. In order to provide a venue for additional discussion, we
will be posting a Doodle poll to determine times for a RADEXT Virtual Interim
meeting. |
