I wish the ITU-T SG13 good luck.
The work that has been described would seem to nearly impossible to do.
Certainly very difficult to do in a black-box testing scenario.
In order to verify *compliance* of a device, it will, I think, be necessary
to convince the device to actually *do* all the things that it can. Then
observe if the MUD file actually allows all those things.
Aside from the difficulty of getting vendors to produce MUD files *at all*, I
have no idea how SG13 plans to convince an IoT device to do all its things.
So my liason reply would be: "Sounds great. Please email m...@ietf.org if
there are details you need help with"
