Re: Proposed W3C Charter: Web Authentication Working Group

[J.C. Jones]

The additional time for the WebAuthn working group is overall good and
worth supporting. The bulk of the additional work to be done is focused on
improving the ergonomics of the existing Level 1 spec, both for developers
and for individuals using the capabilities within their lives.

OK, I'll plan to submit a vote in support, with the above comment as
a suggested (but not formal objection) change.

Re: Proposed W3C Charter: Web Authentication Working Group

[Richard Barnes]

You might note that the charter already says "Dependencies exist on
the Credential
Management API ..."
:)

The credentials API defines a framework that allows for multiple types of
credential.  So I think the concept is that this WG is likely to define a
new credential type, as is done in the FIDO input:

The W3C is proposing a charter for:

  Web Authentication Working Group
  http://www.w3.org/2015/12/web-authentication-charter.html
  https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-new-work/2015Dec/0010.html

Please reply to this thread if you think there's something we should

(It seems likely that we want to support it given that Richard is
involved, and one of the proposed co-chairs.)
