The flow for the user is also discussed - i.e. should we have a flow where a user is redirected to the AM to define policies for resources that are meant to be policy protected or could the host simply register a resource and some sort of a default policy would be associated with a resource (no redirection would occur). Maciej and Lukasz think that the step of redirection is necessary and it might be meaningless for the user to see simply see that a resource is now “Protected” (but how protected?). George gives an example, that by resigning from such a redirection we would allow for registering groups of resources easily (the user would not be redirected to the AM after the host registeres a single resource). Maciej thinks this might be solved differently when a single registration request is issued by the host to the AM.
There is a question then - should we specify only the Host <-> AM request/reply protocol and define the user redirection step as optional?
Resource identifiers are then discussed - URIs vs arbitrary strings. The AM only needs to know identifiers of resources - there’s no way the AM will know how resources are organized at the Host.
