Meeting minutes

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1615

mmiller: getting use to terms, want to get spec out to newcomers
… normalize the terms. go through core content, then recommendation, privacy, etc.

tony: we have some people looking at this

jeffH: we could have intro. doc for certain participants, like RPs

mmiller: W3C doesn't feel like it is for devs
… part of issue is it tries to be all things to all people.

jeffH: primary customer is a browser developer
… can't solve all of this on the call. it has been a struggle from the first draft.

jbradley: have to throw in authenticator dev.

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1613

agl: close this.

tony: any objection

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1614

tony: leave this one another week for a response.

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1616

jeffH: is this better suited for IETF?
… likely not for us

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1618

elundberg: started to write a PR for this.
… can add some clarification.

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1619

nSteele: this being baked in would be great, but not doing this in the CG

mmiller: devs will have to deal with this issue.

elundberg: there are arguments against doing this

sweeden: lot of this dev comes out of browser side

elundberg: crazy idea, what if we extend JSON

selfissue: modifying JSON is way out of scope. and creates other issues.

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1617

jeffH: proposing to add a little more explanation for RPs and cred IDs

bradley: put stake in the ground at 512 bytes

<selfissued> Can someone add a comment to PR #1615 containing a URL at which I can view a rendered version of the PR? When sweeping changes are made, it's often useful to be able to view the rendered result alongside of the diffs. Thanks.

akshay: what do we do with any future features?
… we should check with other people

jeffH: we have more experience so maybe we can be more reasonable

tony: jeffH, you will follow up?

jeffH: yes.

elundberg: anymore on multiple keys?

jeffH: will talk about that in FIDO.

tony: adjourn
