Weirds WG meeting @ IETF 87
1 August 2013  --  Berlin, Germany

The co-chairs gave a brief summary of current document status: two have completed
IETF LC and are scheduled for the 8/15 telechat, one has completed WGLC, and a couple
of others are in development.

Pete Resnick (responsible AD) asked the room to confirm that the publication of the
object inventory draft was actually useful and/or necessary.  After several people
advocated for its publication, the documentÕs milestone was added to the charter.

Marc presented a set of issues and a couple of design proposals for solving the
bootstrapping problem (see slides).  There were mixed feelings about both options and
quite a bit of discussion.  There was some feeling that we want to limit our dependence
on IANA.  Coordination with the sidr WG was suggested.  We ran out of time for this
topic, so the work goes back to the mailing list.

Carlos presented about redirection.  Questions were asked about whether redirection
will be centrally managed or in the realm of developers, and whether it will be
recursive.  The topic of federated authentication was raised, which might be fodder for
an additional draft.  ItÕs clear we have more work to do on this topic as well, so it
too was sent back to the mailing list.

Ning presented on some open questions with search.   Consensus seems to be that we will
handle only a basic search capability in our base documents, and that we will not deal
with advanced search given an absence of current support in WHOIS and no commitment to
implement anything beyond basic RDAP search.  The remaining questions were deferred back
to the mailing list.
