Roll call

Quorum was reached.

Minutes approval

MOTION: Andi does the honors: Approve the minutes of UMA telecon 2015-02-26 and read into today's minutes the notes of UMA telecon 2015-03-04. APPROVED by unanimous consent.

All-Member Ballot progress

  • Blog/Twitter/FB activity should the specs become Recommendations as anticipated?

The minimum number of votes required for the ballot to be valid is 15% of the membership, i.e. 9 of 61. That has been achieved. The minimum number of Yes votes is (Eve thinks) 75% of votes cast. Right now, we know that at least 19 votes (and we believe quite a few more) have been cast, all Yes. So it looks to be near-certain that the ballot will pass. The deadline is 11:59pm UTC (4:59pm PT) next Monday.

The question came up: Does the group plan to close? This is an interesting question, in that the group originally planned to "incubate" specs and then contribute them elsewhere, but now we're not planning to do that. We also deliberately backlogged a number of design ideas and requirements. Where is the right place to carry that work forward? There could be "third-party" efforts for profiling and extension, but also some things that feel more "core". Also, might there be errata? Multiple authorization servers are of interest (Adrian mentions the multisig concept from blockchain), CoAP bindings, token profiling, and more. By no means is the design story over.

It appears to be time for a rechartering of the group. This would be a good thing to do in the next quarter. There's some interest in focusing more on implementation, interoperability, and conformance testing (as long as it's lightweight self-certification that doesn't penalize open-source players and reward big companies!) at this phase. There is also room for "marketing" and development of educational materials.

We think there will be positive news out of our budget request to fund Roland's UMA test suite efforts, shortly.

AI: Eve: Set up rechartering discussions and reach out to Joni to see if there are any cautions or guidelines on this activity.
