Shepherd Write-up for draft-ietf-stir-passport-rcd-20


(1) Does the working group (WG) consensus represent the strong
concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent, or did it
reach broad agreement?

  There is broad support for this document in the STIR WG.

(2) Was there controversy about particular points, or were there
decisions where the consensus was particularly rough?

  When work began on this document, the was some controversy about the
  integrity mechanism, bur consensus emerged for the solution in the
  document.  No one spoke against this approach for over two years.
  
(3) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme
discontent?  If so, please summarize the areas of conflict in separate
email messages to the responsible Area Director.  (It should be in a
separate email because this questionnaire is publicly available.)

  No one has threatened an appeal or indicated extreme discontent.

(4) For protocol documents, are there existing implementations of the
contents of the document?  Have a significant number of potential
implementers indicated plans to implement?  Are any existing
implementations reported somewhere, either in the document itself (as
RFC 7942 recommends) or elsewhere (where)?

  Many people have expressed an intention implement this document.

(5) Does this document need review from other IETF working groups or
external organizations?  Have those reviews occurred?

  None needed.

(6) Describe how the document meets any required formal expert review
criteria, such as the MIB Doctor, YANG Doctor, media type, and URI type
reviews.

  None needed.

(7) If the document contains a YANG module, has the final version of the
module been checked with any of the recommended validation tools for
syntax and formatting validation?  If there are any resulting errors or
warnings, what is the justification for not fixing them at this time?
Does the YANG module comply with the Network Management Datastore
Architecture (NMDA) as specified in RFC 8342?

  YANG is not used in the document.

(8) Describe reviews and automated checks performed to validate sections
of the final version of the document written in a formal language, such
as XML code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, CBOR's CDDL, etc.

  JSON is used.  The use if STIR PASSporT was reviewed on the
  jwt-reg-review@ietf.org mailing list in 2016.  There are new JSON Web
  Token (JWT) Claims defined in this document, but they have not yet
  been explicitly discussed on the jwt-reg-review@ietf.org mailing
  list to get the advice of the Designated Experts.  A posting was
  made on 15 September 2022 to make sure that the experts on that
  mailing list have an opportunity to comment.

(9) Based on the shepherd's review of the document, is it their opinion
that this document is needed, clearly written, complete, correctly
designed, and ready to be handed off to the responsible Area Director?

  The document shepherd finds the document clear and complete.

(10) Several IETF Areas have assembled lists of common issues that their
reviewers encounter.  Do any such issues remain that would merit specific
attention from subsequent reviews?

  The document shepherd finds no concerns.

(11) What type of RFC publication is being requested on the IETF stream
(Best Current Practice, Proposed Standard, Internet Standard,
Informational, Experimental, or Historic)?  Why is this the proper type
of RFC?  Do all Datatracker state attributes correctly reflect this
intent?

  Proposed Standard.  The datatracker indicates this intent.

(12) Has the interested community confirmed that any and all appropriate
IPR disclosures required by BCP 78 and BCP 79 have been filed?  If not,
explain why.  If yes, summarize any discussion and conclusion regarding
the intellectual property rights (IPR) disclosures, including links to
relevant emails.

  All authors and contributors have explicitly confirmed that all IPR
  disclosures required for full conformance with the provisions of
  BCP 78 and BCP 79 have already been filed.  There are none.

(13) Has each Author or Contributor confirmed their willingness to be
listed as such?  If the number of Authors/Editors on the front page is
greater than 5, please provide a justification.

  All authors have explicitly confirmed their willingness to be listed
  as an author.  All contributors are listed as authors.

(14) Identify any remaining I-D nits in this document.  (See the idnits
tool and the checkbox items found in Guidelines to Authors of
Internet-Drafts).  Simply running the idnits tool is not enough; please
review the entire guidelines document.

  IDnits discovered one place where "MAY NOT" needs to be changed to
  "MUST NOT".  The authors are making this change, and it will be posted
  when other changes are needed.

  The document shepherd review of the document did not find any
  issues related to the Guidelines to Authors of Internet-Drafts.

(15) Should any informative references be normative or vice-versa?

  All references are in the proper category.

(16) List any normative references that are not freely available to
anyone.  Did the community have sufficient access to review any such
normative references?

  All normative references are RFCs, or will be when finished.

(17) Are there any normative downward references (see RFC 3967, BCP 97)?
If so, list them.

  There are no downrefs.

(18) Are there normative references to documents that are not ready for
advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state?  If they exist, what is
the plan for their completion?

  One of the normative references has not been published yet:
  draft-ietf-sipcore-callinfo-rcd.  This is moving forward in a
  different IETF working group.

(19) Will publication of this document change the status of any existing
RFCs?  If so, does the Datatracker metadata correctly reflect this and
are those RFCs listed on the title page, in the abstract, and discussed
in the introduction?  If not, explain why and point to the part of the
document where the relationship of this document to these other RFCs is
discussed.

  Publication of this document will not effect the status of any
  other documents.

(20) Describe the document shepherd's review of the IANA considerations
section, especially with regard to its consistency with the body of the
document.  Confirm that all aspects of the document requiring IANA
assignments are associated with the appropriate reservations in IANA
registries.  Confirm that any referenced IANA registries have been
clearly identified.  Confirm that each newly created IANA registry
specifies its initial contents, allocations procedures, and a reasonable
name (see RFC 8126).

  No concerns were found.  As noted above, three new JSON Web
  Token (JWT) Claims are defined, these have been raised on the
  jwt-reg-review@ietf.org mailing list to get the advice of the
  Designated Experts.

(21) List any new IANA registries that require Designated Expert Review
for future allocations.  Are the instructions to the Designated Expert
clear?  Please include suggestions of designated experts, if appropriate.

  One new IANA registries is needed.  The PASSporT RCD Types registry is
  described in Section 17.3, and it will use the Specification Required
  policy for new entries to be added in the future.
