... (goes through the issues from wot-discovery too)

wot-discovery issues

wot-discovery issue 96: Should security be mandatory on directories?

McCool: if mandatory, what scheme?
... what security is appropriate for what contexts?

Issue 192 on lifecycle in Architectuere

Issue 192

McCool: was there any discussion on lifecycle during the Architecture call last week?

Kaz: no
... we just talked about the FPWD publication, recent use cases, etc.

McCool: there is still PR ongoing
... we should leave this open until the lifecycle is finalized
... the PR 539 has been merged, though

PR 539 merged on Oct 7

McCool: Oliver has agreed to review the current status and provide input on whether any additional updates are needed from a security perspective

topic Issue 66 on Role of Platforms in WoT

Issue 66

McCool: are "Hubs" and "Platforms" the same thing?
... perhaps not

Issue 185 on Consider how to support object security

Issue 185

McCool: any opinions?
... next steps here would be (1) to find existing systems that use object security and consider how to model them (OCF 2.x?)
... (2) to build and experiment with some prototypes in a Plugfest
... before doing #2 above
... we would have to justify the effort with use cases, etc.
... could be the case if some major ecosystem we want to integrate with WoT requires object security
... smart city use case may require it

Kaz: yeah

Issue 195 on security guidance

Issue 195

McCool: could start by defining the contexts
