Hi Hannes,

You stated a preference for separate registries below, but that was a larger 
change to the OAuth Core spec than the current draft, which added a fourth 
error usage location "resource access error response" to the registry.  To my 
knowledge, the consensus call didn't ask people to express a preference between 
having four separate OAuth Errors registries versus one OAuth Errors registry 
allowing any combination of a set of four usage locations to be specified.

Given that the two choices are completely equivalent, and we had previously 
established the single OAuth Errors registry with three possible usage 
locations, extending it to a fourth seemed to be both more natural and easier 
for people to understand.

Therefore, I'd like to ask you to withdraw your suggestion and allow the 
existing structure of the OAuth Errors registry to remain.

                                Thank you,
                                -- Mike

Subject: [OAUTH-WG] Error Registry: Conclusion

Hi all, 

on May 8th we called for consensus on an open issue regarding the location of 
the error registry. Here is the call for comments: 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/oauth/current/msg08952.html. 

Thank you all for the feedback. The consensus is to create the registry in the 
core document.

Section 11.4.1 already sort-of creates sub-registries to illustrate where the 
different errors can be used. This is needed since some of the errors may only 
appear in certain error responses. Hence, we need add another one to this list 
(suggestion: 'resource access error response'). In fact, I would prefer IANA to 
create separate tables for each of these sub-registries to avoid confusion for 
the reader (instead of putting everything into a single table). 

We believe that these changes are really minor and address IESG feedback.

Ciao
Hannes & Derek
