Design team update

• purpose: network identification problem
• first call was two weeks ago
• went very well

• three requirements:

  1. self generative part - identify the correct fork, or preamble,
     or assigned authority bit

     • needed for blockchains
     • needed for authoratitive / traditional systems

  2. needs to be self-proving

  3. legal ownership of the identifier

• multiple questions about purpose and requirements answered

Scope question

Are we clear what the gap is between the documents today that need to be
filled in before we're done?

• Thomas: we are slowly creeping into "stage zero"
• Claire: is identifiers the last thing we need to go to last call?
• Rafael: need to be more detailed about session resumption
• Wes: what is the checklist that is needed to complete
• Thomas: discussion of protocol parameters (ciphers, etc)
• Rama: how we identify and discover networks is stage zero and is out
  of scope
• Rama: can we identify requirements for identifiers for what networks
  a gateway speaks for?
• Thomas: both documents just say "network identifier"
• Rama: should we?
• Thomas: can we reference
• Reminder from Wes: IETF last call process (WG LC -> IESG -> IETF LC
  -> ...)
• discussion around how to specify a format of a identifier
  placeholder in the protocol such that future additions won't
  conflict
  • Wes mentions that we could create an IANA registry for an
    integer type that specifies what the format of a second string
    or other value would be (DIDs vs URNs vs binary vs ...)

Topics today

Zainan has a use case we need to consider regarding DNS based blockchain registrations

• Goal would be to allow easier transfer of DNS registrations in a
  blockchain based naming system
• Potential compliments the EPP/registrar model (likely assuming the
  losing and gaining registrars are blockchain-based)
• To incoperate it, we need to ensure the document contain a good
  description of how technologies will collaborate (or at least not
  impeed) within existing frameworks, like the existing DNS
  registry/registrar/EPP model.
