On Monday at the OAuth meeting for IETF 125 a number of AI related proposals 
were made to extend existing OAuth mechanisms in different ways. However, it 
seemed to me that there was overlap in the desired goals across these proposals 
and I’m wondering if for the AI space we need to take a step back and define 
the desired requirements before making spec level proposals. Just in what was 
presented, there is fragmentations and this doesn’t include a number of other 
proposals that have been made (either to IETF or otherwise) but were not 
presented.

General topics that seem to come up frequently:
* identifiers - instance, owner, version, …
* fine-grained authorization - RAR, scope extensions, transaction tokens, …
* delegated authorization - delegation chain, delegation capabilities, 
on-behalf-of, for-the-benefit-of, …
* context & intent - transformation of original intent for specific delegation 
task, ...
* consent - levels of delegation before consent is required, back channel 
consent, …
* privacy - 

I’m sure there are more. I know it takes more time, but I believe we should 
address these issues holistically rather than on a spec by spec basis.

Thanks,
George
