RATIONALE: comp.security.gss-api
Use of the GSS-API and recognition of its status as an emerging
standard are growing. However, the only forum currently devoted to
discussion of the GSS-API is the cat-ietf@MIT.Edu mailing list. This
topic merits a newsgroup in addition to the mailing list for a number
of reasons, including:
* The mailing list's charter is oriented towards the standards
process, rather than towards discussion among users and implementors
of GSS-API. Furthermore, the mailing list's traffic does not
exclusively concern GSS-API. It will be useful to have a forum
whose traffic concerns only the GSS-API, and whose charter is
oriented towards discussion among users and implementors.
* Many people consider newsgroups preferable to mailing lists.
* The traffic on the mailing list is sufficient to justify the
creation of a newsgroup.
* A recent week-long straw poll of whether people want such a
newsgroup found almost 30 parties who were interested enough to
respond to the survey.
* The newsgroup will serve as a forum for people to ask questions
about and discuss the usage of the API without getting involved in
the high-level design discussions which are prevalent on the mailing
list. This is already needed since questions about the API are
already turning up in other newsgroups, and it will become more and
more useful as usage of the API becomes more widespread.
The last item above is not meant to imply that high-level discussions
of the API will be inappropriate in the newsgroup. However, although
they will certainly be considered on-topic in the group, it seems
likely that (a) a much larger proportion of the articles in the group
than on the mailing list will be concerned with basic discussion of,
and questions about, the API, and (b) people who are genuinely
interested in discussing and helping with future design of the API
will continue to do so primarily on the mailing list, since it is the
"official" mailing list of the IETF working group responsible for the
GSS-API.
CHARTER: comp.security.gss-api
The comp.security.gss-api newsgroup is intended for discussion of the
Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API),
including mechanism- and implementation-independent discussion of the
GSS-API, discussion of specific GSS-API mechanisms and
implementations, and questions about the design and usage of the
GSS-API.
Discussion about underlying authentication technologies which is not
specifically related to the use of those technologies with the GSS-API
should take place in other newsgroups.
END CHARTER.
