As described below, "Given that the specification does only one simple thing in
a straightforward manner, we believe that it is ready for working group last
call." The editors therefore request that the chairs initiate working group
last call for draft-ietf-oauth-jwk-thumbprint-uri-00.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [OAUTH-WG] Working Group Adoption of the JWK Thumbprint URI
Specification
The IETF OAuth working group<https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/oauth/about/> has
adopted the JWK Thumbprint
URI<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-oauth-jwk-thumbprint-uri-00.html>
specification. The abstract of the specification is:
This specification registers a kind of URI that represents a JSON Web Key (JWK)
Thumbprint value. JWK Thumbprints are defined in RFC 7638. This enables JWK
Thumbprints to be used, for instance, as key identifiers in contexts requiring
URIs.
The need for this arose during specification work in the OpenID Connect working
group<https://openid.net/wg/connect/>. In particular, JWK Thumbprint URIs are
used as key identifiers that can be syntactically distinguished from other
kinds of identifiers also expressed as URIs in the Self-Issued OpenID Provider
v2<https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-self-issued-v2-1_0.html>
specification.
Given that the specification does only one simple thing in a straightforward
manner, we believe that it is ready for working group last call.
The specification is available at:
* https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-oauth-jwk-thumbprint-uri-00.html
