Dear all,

After a long silence, I want to manifest my interest in both documents:
- constrained-voucher that extends and completes [ace]est-coaps to cover
all non-est brski cases using coap,
- contrained-join-proxy that standardizes the stateless proxy using coap
and coap discovery.

The first document is an anima WG document, which has progressed very
slowly waiting for keyinfra to conclude.
The second was intended as anima WG document once the new anima charter
was adopted.

The separation in two documents makes sense in my opinion.
I don't know why the join-proxy document has slided over the WG horizon.
I still hope that the WG wants to adopt join-proxy. Implementations of both douments are in progress at this moment.

cheerio, and thanks,

Peter van ders Stok

Not in draft-richardson-anima-state-for-joinrouter from my quick read.

No, that document is background and it is not intended for publication, and I
didn't change anything in it.

Did we really want to standardize the StateFUL join proxy?

Uhmm... isn;t that what we're doing with BRSKI proper ? That's a
stateful join proxy, right ? Aka: your question seems to be missing
some more context (stndardize stateful join proxy for context
XXXX... ?)

Title:        Constrained Join Proxy for Bootstrapping Protocols
Document date:    2020-09-22
Group:        Individual Submission

The stateful method is same as BRSKI, but over CoAP, rather than HTTPS.
That's why I'm asking if it is at all useful to specify anything.

Is it really interesting or relevant?  It seems trivial.  If we are,
then we should contrast it.  An important clue is that it does not
behave any differently, FROM THE PLEDGE point of view.

The WG had expressed an interest in adopting this document, but the WG
chairs have not provided any clear guidance on where they we go.

I thought we primarily had the issue of the named author having
unfortunate issues to drive the document. If you want to take on the
ditors helm for it, then the chairs will be happy to proactively see
how to progress the document in the WG...

Peter, Panos and I are authors.
Yes, some of the authors had time constraints, but that's why we have more
than one author, isn't it?

This document could be merged into ietf-constrained-voucher, but I
think we made it a separate document because it is not needed on all
networks, just *constrained* multihop/MESH networks.

Yes, we have some decisions to make wrt. how much to merge into fewer
documents and how much to keep the solution definition modular.

Given how we went through half a decade of probably too-big-documents
in ANIMA, as an individual conributor i would err on the side of more
smaller documents, but i guess as a WG chair i should just leave it to
authors and rough consensus of the WG.

Well, constrained-voucher started out as being constrained-RFC8366,
with the intention of having a constrained-BRSKI document.
(Direction towards: more documents).
During that period, we managed to split of est-coaps-ace, which is in the
RFC-editor queue.

Then constrained-voucher ate up constrained-BRSKI, and now it is bigger.

I would say, that the WG should adopt the work based upon what things it
wants to solve, and then if content needs to be shifted around, merged,
split, etc. then the WG can decide that.
