Thanks, Roman, for pointing this out. At a glance, it seems that three of seven (i.e., ~40%) of the currently adopted documents are out of scope. Specifically, I am referring to: * COSE Receipts * COSE Hash Envelope * COSE Header parameter for RFC 3161 Time-Stamp Tokens All three are quite advanced (in particular, “TST header parameters” is with the IESG, and "Receipts" is in WGLC). Possible ways out include: * Rechartering to put them in scope, * Re-dispatching to other WGs, or * Seeking AD sponsorship. Given that the WG has already invested considerable effort in the documents, a (quick) retrospective rechartering does not seem unnatural to me. (Besides, while I tend to prefer charters with a narrow scope, I believe the current COSE charter is a bit *too* narrow, considering the breadth of the problem space?) Regarding redispatching, SCITT could serve as a good home for all three. SCITT folks: can you confirm? AD sponsorship seems the least compelling route, but I am happy to be convinced otherwise. Any thoughts or (possibly brilliant) ideas? :-) cheers! _______________________________________________ COSE mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
