We are going to respond to Eran's blog post. We would like to respond with some real content instead of vague statements. I would find it useful if anyone of you who likes to agree or disagree to have at least read the OAuth specification. I had noticed that many of those who share their

Watching a play starting with the third act is always interesting but not informative. If there's a dispute worthy of attention by the *whole IETF membership*, could someone please summarize it (in a reasonably unbiased way) to bring the rest of us up to speed? Dale

Do you think that corporate domination of open standards development is OK? The barrier for participation is low since there are no membership fees, etc. Nevertheless, those who participate in standardization efforts have to spend their time. So, typically those who participate for a

Eran, the editor of a specification in the OAuth working group, had decided to step down from his editor-role because the group did not agree with certain design decisions (particularly with a security design decision). That happens also in other groups. Nothing uncommon so far. He then wrote

Hi Yoav, Hi Like Dale, I haven't followed the play throughout the life of OAuth (the working group) Barely anyone has done that. Who are these corporations that dominate the working group? Are they content providers like Facebook, Twitter, or Disney? Are they ISPs? Is it General

I certainly agree that the participation in the face-to-face meetings is indeed more costly. For leadership positions (as you call them) such participation is indeed important. On Jul 29, 2012, at 2:02 PM, Glen Zorn wrote: On Sun, 2012-07-29 at 13:28 -0700, Hannes Tschofenig wrote: Do
